It is fun to read this colourful book. In addition to the fully illustrated steps with simple instructions, I find the 'tips' and 'notes' for working with the Mac OS Leopard very useful. I like to recommend this book particularly to first time Mac users. It has enabled me to start using my MacBook quickly.

I found Kate BInder's book on OS X Leopard just great because it is clear-cut, direct to the point and succinct. It helps me out at every turn when I tend to mess up. Any ding-dong can follow the instructions and succeed working on the Mac.LFA
