Book Reviews of iPod and iTunes Pocket Guide, The (4th Edition)
Book Review: Organized for people who own the Ipod Touch, or that and more
Summary: 2 Stars
This guide was disappointing. Chapter two is called "Touching the iPod Touch", and it introduces many of the concepts used later in the book. All the other iPods (Nano, Shuffle, Classic)are discussed in chapter three, but often the author asks the reader to remember what he's read in chapter two, or assumes the concepts are already understood. This means you have to read chapter two carefully, whether you have a Touch or not. Moreover, it isn't always clear whether things said in chapter two are generally true or are true only of the Touch. If you own a Touch, or if you own a Touch plus other types of iPods, and you want a guide, this book may work; but otherwise this organization makes it awkward to understand.
Also, this book will hide all the number keys in the top row of a standard PC keyboard when held one way, and will hide 1 through 7 if held the other way. It's pretty big. This is not a pocket-sized book.
On the plus side, it is inexpensive, and it did explain to me (with a little digging) several things I didn't figure out using the iPod and iTunes help systems / .pdf manuals. It is certainly better than nothing and is a useful addition.
In comparison, this book was nowhere near as informative and helpful as "iPod the Missing Manual" by J. D. Biersdorfer with David Pogue, which is perhaps 20% bigger and costs about twice as much. I bought the Missing Manual some weeks after buying the Pocket Guide, and wish I could have bought it first (and then would not have bought the Pocket Guide).
