Summary: Not bad for the price
Comment: If you are not really familiar with the subject these all-in-one books can help you get a handle on the subject. Just be aware that the coverage is spread pretty thin. You may need to get another book to get into much detail. Do this too often and the all-in-one becomes redundant.

Summary: Great Desk Reference
Comment: This is a great book to have on hand.....one that you can constantly be referring to.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A Very Helpful Resource
Comment: I am a new Mac user, and this book has been invaluable. It reads easy, & Mark has a simple way of putting things for those who are semi computer illiterate. :) The only thing I'd say is a 'black mark' against this book, is some of the 'humor' in the book wasn't necessary or funny. (i.e. joking about ex-boy/girl friends.) Other than that, i have been pleased with the information that has helped me to navigate the wonders of the Apple system.

Summary: Great All around book
Comment: I have been using macs for about 5 years, and my knowledge doubled after i read this book. It is great for quick tips to be more productive. It also has a good amount of technical information including UNIX, which Mac OS X is based off of. I highly recommend for any mac user, new or not.

Summary: Hard to read
Comment: While this book has a lot of great information, it's very hard for me to sit down and read. Here's an example of a writing style: Under "Quitting Programs" the author writes "If I had a twisted and warped sense of humor, I'd simly tell you to quit applications by pulliiing your Mac's power cord from the wall socket. (Luckily, I don't.) There are, however, more sane ways to exit a program..." If you're like me, and this style drives you up the wall, try another book, because this book has examples like this on every page. It just gets tiring reading past the cute to get to the meat.
