Customer Reviews

A must have guide for a Mac Owner
Fantastic book. Everything you ever want to know about iLife is in this book. Its beautifully illustrated and contains information, tips and tricks for each iLife program. Not only that but it also gives you access to a website for updated information as things change.
You'll be surprised about how many things you didnt know to make working with iLife so much more fun and interesting. Its also good to refer to when you have a query or something.
A good investment, would definately recommend.

Easy to read
iLife 08 is an easy to read book that covers all the applications associates with iLife08. A must for anyone starting with iLife and especially if moving from PC to Mac. In part it can be a little too basic, but this was never meant to be a reference manual.

wonderful book
Easy to read, understand with lots of lovely pictures. Certain items could perhaps have been handled better, like, for instance, mentioning how to publish your iWeb created web pages to a separate folder. But hey, I'm nit-picking here.

This is an excellent book. Highly recommended.
