Book Reviews of Mac OS X v. 10.2 Jaguar Killer Tips
Book Review: Don't state the obvious
Summary: 2 Stars
Scott Kelby has written a book that is beautifully typeset and in fact does contain a useful tip or two, but the majority of the content feels to me as "stating the obvious".It might be a good guide for those among us who do not adventurously explore their new environment once they made the leap from MacOS 9 (or even Windows) to MacOS X, but I really doubt if this book gets used as a reference manual after the first read.
In my opinion "Killer Tips" is not a good title for this book; it's more like another "MacOS X, the Missing Manual" type of book.
Book Review: Disapointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the "Killer Tips" in the hope that it would help me acquaint myself with differences between Mac OS X and the previous Mac operating systems with which I consider myself reasonably familiar since I am a Mac user of moderate competence. The book did not fulfill this expectation largely because the lack of a reasonable index which has only about 500 entries, far to few to find answers quickly to the questions that arise inevitably in the process of one's switch from previous to the latest operating system, a Jaguar of spots distinctly different than its ancestors.Book Review: A Fun way to learn...
Summary: 5 Stars
Scott Kelby is an absolute master at pretty much anything he touches. I have enjoyed reading many of his PhotoShop books, but this Mac OS X book is great. As it is not a cover to cover book where you MUST read everything to continue, it is more of a how to in a page or two or less. He gave me tons of great idea's on pranks and things to do to coworkers as well as how to manage a better system and where to find things. A+ on this book... if you're just transitioning over to Jaguar or are interested in learning more in a fun and exciting way, buy this book!Book Review: All around a great book... Tons of good pranks too.... :)

Summary: 5 Stars
Too bad Jack Davis has a trademark on the WOW! series because this book is really WOW! If you are a new OS X user, you'll have to pass up sleep for at least three nights, but it will be a joy. If you are a guru, you will probably look through it saying, "I know that... that's easy" for a few pages and then say, "Wow... is that true?" and go to your TiBook to take on Kelby (only to lose). It's sick how much is packed in these pages. There is a reason Amazon sold out before the books' release!
