Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Peachpit Learning Series Reviews
Don't waste your money buy this book. There plenty of other choices out there. If you are familiar with computers in general, all the information found on the book are there for free on the internet. Look at alternative before you buy. I was extremely disappointed with this book and it was a waste of money.
It's worth the money. I recommend this book for anyone new to Leopard, it is very easy to read and understand, plus its offers color diagrams.
If you want a seriously excellent Mac OSX book, of which there seems very few, go to the consummate expert, David Pogue. He uses humor, gets to the point and help at the same time. I also found her cutesy writing personality totally annoying. Great book for newbies and kids, but nothing substantial for long-time Mac users needing maintenance and security info.
This is an OK book but I was expecting more. It was very basic and I was looking for a more advanced manual. More on scurity and firewalls etc.
(: I have had both PCs and Macs. So I've seen my share of confusing poorly written software books and manuals. Robin Williams writes in a totally non-intimidating, clear, easy to understand style that makes getting around Leopard an absolute breeze and a pleasure. "Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Peachpit Learning Series" is the first book I have purchased by this author but I will definitely look for her computer texts first in the future. This is by far the best I've come across.
This book is super simple to follow yet has all the more in depth knowledge to enable the novice and accomplished Applehead to get FULLY up to speed and to master their Mac/Leopard in no time. Thanks for helping to make mastering my Mac so much fun Robin. Got my first computer in the early 90s. This is hands down the best Mac tutorial book I've found.
