Award–winning author David Pogue introduces you to the bells, whistles, and gadgetry of the iBook that has carried on–the–go personal computing to another level.

Customer Reviews

Out of date
Written for true Dummies, our ex colonial cousins across the Atlantic, this book is very outdated and only really useful if you are so dumn that you would struggle to turn the machine on.
