Amazon.co.uk Review
Mac OS 9.1: Visual QuickStart Guide, like its popular series-mates, tightly integrates text--mostly bulleted lists of facts and numbered steps to follow--with small, salient illustrations. If a procedure refers to the "Add to Favourites" entry in the File menu, a picture of the File menu--with the relevant command highlighted--appears immediately adjacent. Maria Langer is among the most popular authors in this series, largely because she's very good at writing in this format.

This book centres on the needs of people who use Mac OS 9.1--on iMacs, iBooks and desktop Macs--in home and small-office settings. More specifically, Langer assumes that readers do all of their configuration work themselves, without the aid of the dedicated experts who typically work in large organisations. More experienced users of Mac OS, though they might find much of the material elementary, will appreciate the coverage of networking and Internet connectivity. Confident novices will love this book for its detail and the fact that it's not at all condescending to newcomers. --David Wall

Topics covered: Mac OS 9.1 for anyone who uses it, explicit and well-illustrated "how-to" information on file management, software (both native to Mac OS and aftermarket), printing, networking, connectivity via local area networks (LANs) and modems, and performance.
