- Excellent
Complete reference for the Mac Leopard operating system. Very detailed, well written and easy to navigate.

- Invaluable
I have been a M/S DOS and Windows user for almost 20 years and very comfortable with how those operating systems function. I purchased this book with the hopes it would help me figure out how the heck to make my new Mac Pro work like putty in my hands and I couldn't have made a better decision. I suggest reading a few chapters before you even switch to a Mac so you will have a basic understanding of how it will function, it is different and there is a learning curve. Make sure you have a bright highlighter pen handy to highlight keyboard shortcuts and key points so it will be easy to look back and make your experience a smooth one. This book is huge (over 800 pages) but the reading is easy and fun. I can't imagine having my computer without it at this point, it's that good.
Here's a tip... if the mouse locks up or some other issue crops up where you can only use the keyboard there is a reference in the back section of the book to navigate by keyboard only to do everything from logging out to shutting down.

- OSX Leopard this IS the book
recently bought my first IMac. I was totally naive to the Mac OS and this book was great in telling me so much of how the system and its programs work. not only informative but probably saved me many hours of trial and error. I would recommend to anyone not truly familiar with Leopard.

- Learning the bells and whistles
I bought my first Mac in abut 1984 and have upgraded to the latest model at least a dozen times. I got my first version of OSX when the beta was made available and have moved up to each new version as it was released. I have used Macs and PCs at home and work since the first Apple II. So I would say that I was an experienced user.

Having said that, I find there is a lot that I do not know. Leopard OSX has what seems like a million features, many of which are not obvious. David Pogue has put together a compendium of those features for those who do not want to spend their life seeking them out. Pogue's is knowledgeable and his writing is organized, straight forward and easy to read. Working your way through this book should increase your proficiency using Leopard and can make that use a lot easier.

On the downside, the book is large reflecting the number of features to be covered and can be intimidating. The programs that come with the operating system like Safari and Mail get only a page or two and the details are relegated to another "Missing Manual". There is a large amount of information making it difficult to remember all the capabilities or even the ones you are most likely to use. It is best to try them as you come across them and to take notes.

The book is a good one for beginners, for those who are ready for more of the details and features as well as more experienced users wanting to maximize their use of the OS. I have read his books for the previous versions of OSX and still find this one useful. I think it is the best on the subject.
