Tips rule!
Have you ever noticed that in just about every Mac book, the author will include a couple of tips in each chapter (you'll usually find them in the sidebar, or at the bottom of the page in a tinted box). Sometimes it's a shortcut, a faster way to do something, or a clever workaround that just makes your life easier. People really love those tips, but there's only one problem--there's never enough of them.
That's why Scott Kelby, bestselling author and Editor-in-Chief of Mac Design magazine came up with the idea to create a book that's nothing but "sidebar" tips. That's right--this entire book, cover-to-cover is packed with nothing but those cool inside secrets, slick workarounds, undocumented shortcuts, and sneaky little tricks that will make you faster, better, and have more fun using Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger).
Nothing but the tips!
You're not going to find complicated descriptions on how to configure a network, how to partition a hard drive, or lines and lines of scary-looking UNIX code--instead this book is nothing but cool tips--and it's all written in Scott's casual, plain English style so you can start using these tips today. Plus, this book does the standard "sidebar tip" one better by including a clear screen capture with nearly every tip, so you can see exactly how it's all done.
Not just tips. Killer tips!
To be in this book, every tip has got to be a "Killer Tip" (the kind of tip that makes you nod and smile, then call all your Mac buddies to tune them up with your new-found power). Scott's a total "hip hound" (in fact, it was Scott who created the entire smash-bestselling "Killer Tips" book series), and he doesn't hold anything back--it's all here from the man who literally "wrote the book" on cool productivity tips.If you like doing things the easy way, if you like getting twice the work done in half the time, and if you get a kick out of knowing all the "inside secrets and undocumented shortcuts" that will wow your friends and coworkers, you're absolutely going to love this book.

Comment: Received the product quickly. The book has a multitude of ideas and shortcuts that look to be valuable. However, the book is not one that you sit down and read. I expect it to be a valuable reference for me in my Mac learning process.

Summary: Another Killer Success for Scott Kelby
Comment:
I am a Mac fossil, having used Macs since they first appeared. I have bought more than a few (!) of Scott Kelby's "Killer Tips" books, always useful, if you like the format; i.e., being able to jump in anywhere. Most tech books begin with the basics and become more advanced with progressive chapters. I have those, too, and the encyclopedia types, "bibles" and "missing manuals."
The Tips books appeal to me because they present both "a review and what's new." Even the most veteran Mac user can appreciate a review of certain tips. After all these years, I still find myself saying, "Oh, yeah. I forgot about that."
Well thought out and easy to digest, the Tips books are great because they can be read at any point in the book. I keep one in the car, and read it when I get stuck in traffic, or when I have an appointment and spend time in a waiting area. Recently, I spent an hour waiting for a routine car maintenance checkup, took this book, and learned a few tips that save so much time, plus deepened my understanding of Tiger. That's how I see these books: if I learn even a few tips that enhance my Mac knowledge and skills, they are well worth the money.
It's easy to become overwhelmed with (way) too much information. My philosophy is to learn something every day. The Tips books help. They're sort of like taking a daily Mac vitamin to keep my knowledge base intact--and always growing.
