A Visual Delight - Pictorial Learning at it's Best
This book is a absolute visual delight, beautifully illustrated making it a pleasurable, easy learning experience. I am new to the Mac OS X V.10.3, Panther, being in the process of switching from Windows. I was nervous of this "new" system but this book made the transition really easy, showing at a glance the sequence of actions used for working through each task. You are not overwhelmed with text or technical terms - just follow the pictorial instructions at your own pace, easy.
