The "Missing Manual" series' tagline is "The book that should have been in the box," and that's exactly what this is. At 900 pages, the book covers everything that the end user needs to know, and is written in a fun, accessible style that keeps things engaging rather than dry without tipping over into the corny lulz that tend to plague the "For Dummies" series.

My hubby got this book for me for x-mas and I am SO loving it! Especially all the shortcuts and quick/easy ways of doing things.

recommends it for:
Mac users.
This is a reference book, not one to be read from front to back. At least that is how I use it.

Yes. I'm a dork. And this book will show you more about your computer than you even knew existed. So much real, useful, and easy to process information that increases productivity, reduces frustration and crashes, and enables you to make your computer work for you vs. the other way around

Very good book for those of us familiar with the early Apple days, but not familiar with the new operating system (OS X). It covers it all in a easy to read format. Good reference.

If you use a Mac, you probably should own this book. If, like me, you are NEW to the Mac, and you don't own this book, then you're doing yourself a grave disservice.

David Pogue's Missing Manuals are absolutely indispensable. This one saved my sanity when I first converted from PC to Mac.

Though it's putting me to sleep (note: do not read in bed!) it's still good and helpful!
