New to OS X? You have come to the right place
A book that is simple, clear and to the point. This book does what it states on the cover.
If you are "Swithcing" or moving to OS X this is a great start. Tells everything you need in a logical way. Not the bible but a great starter and for most will be all that's needed.
Plenty of Illustartions and should be on the top of the list if you have just purchased a new Mac. Printed on good quality paper and easy to read. I'm surprised as to why this book has not been reviwed before.
You can buy one of the other highly rated books, that will stay in your book shelf for ever(like my other buys).
Highly Recommended.
