Simply presented - easy to read and understand

Great book for those who want to see all that their Leopard OS has to offer. Very well laid out, not like a tech manual, and rife with great humor!

MacOS X Leopard Killer Tips

I've Read Most of the OS X/Leopard Books ... BUY THIS ONE!

I'm a new Mac user. Over the past 6 months, I've read most of the OS X books currently on the market. (I'm a geek that way ;-) In my opinion, for a new mac user, this books is the best one. Scott writes simply, plainly and uses easy-to-understand terms. (Plus, his pictures are fun to look at!). If you want to go waaaay under the hood of OS X, then get this book:Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual. If you just want to get up and running quickly, then buy Scott's book. Thanks, Scott! Keep those great books coming!

When a 25 year pc user switches to a Mac there is a definite learning curve. This book was a great place to start. I found many of the shortcuts that Mac users already know, but I couldn't find readily listed anywhere on my Mac. Long time users might find this boring, but it was quite helpful to me as a new user. Good screen photos support the hints and tips, so it's very easy to understand. No long boring explanations, just nice short snippets.

Fantastic!!

This book like of of Scott's prior writings is the perfect size and is on a level when anyone can sit down find what they want and get back to what they were doing. Even if reading it as book instead of as a reference it is set up in short chapters so that nothing feels overwhelming. It might be a good idea to have some paper and a pen to takes notes though.
