Customer Reviews

Ipod The Missing Manual
I not very technical minded but was investigating the potential of an ipod touch and saw this in a book shop, but ordered it from Amazon as cheaper. The book is very clearly set out and the ipod looks inpressive, definitely considering buying an ipod. I am sure the book will be very useful with the new gadget.

Excellent manual
This book is very informative and helpful. It is written in clear language and the images provided ensure there is no ambiguity. It covers about every question you would need to ask, with a touch of humour too.
