Book Reviews of Mac OS X: The Missing Manual
Book Review: Best System, Best Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's the bottom line on this book: if I could find a better book on the new MAC OS X, I would have bought it. David Pogue has done a masterful job of making this new OS understandable and more importantly, usable. I haven't touched a MAC since grad school, having transferred to a PC. After reading this book, the transformation from PC person to OS X person was so painless, I kept waiting for a gotcha. None to be found. I might have to look into what else O'Reilley Press has to offer.Book Review: Mac OS X: The Missing Manual
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is exactly what I was looking for. It is written in a lively, relaxed style which makes it easy to learn and fun to read. I wanted some depth so that I understood what the designers of OS X had in mind and why they have set the system up the way it is. There are tips in this book which let me really get into OS X and make the most of its features. I like keyboard short cuts - David shows us them all. One of the best computer books I have ever read. Exciting!!Book Review: Another GREAT Pogue tome! If you can't learn from this...
Summary: 5 Stars
Once again a master writer and teacher has delivered. On many levels I always found Pogue to be among the best. I started with his "for Dummies" and have, Mac Secrets and several more, all of which are fact filled and super informative. As I scanned the other comments 98% agree; as for the few critics, if you are so smart go write your own book, or at least seek professional help. A MUST HAVE book for any Mac user willing to learn. Thank You David Pogue.Book Review: Great book to keep as a manual for OS X
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is indeed the missing manual. Much different than his "dummies" books, this is a little heafter and focused more on advanced problems and activities.Mr. Pogue does still keep to his light and easy to read writing style. This book will not be one you will necessarily read through, though you may skim each chapter for important topics, it will serve as an indespensible bookshelf companion and guide to discover many secrets and tips of OS X.
Book Review: A Must Have Manual
Summary: 5 Stars
I started reading this book and was immediately put at ease with OSX. Up until this book, I was afraid of OSX. Now, watch out OSx, I got you handled!!!!His writing style is so relaxing and he puts you right at ease. If you want to get comfortable with OSX.......this definately is the book for you. I have I have 2 other OSX books and this one is by far the most friendly.
Now if he would only write a manual for all the programs I would be in heaven..
