Format:Paperback
Although entitlesd Apple TV for dummies, it is firstly overwhelmingly about "TV" not "Apple".What there is about Apple TV itself is short and obvious and not worth the cover price..
Format:Paperback
This book is like the other dummy books in being chatty in style, which I find very irritating. The information is there if you can find it, but you have to wade through lots of waffle. Also this book repeats a lot of information from others in the series, which if you have already got them, or don't need this information, is a waste of money, paper etc. All the books in the series seem to be the same thickness and, while there is an awlful lot you can do with Apple TV, and the Apple Instruction book is at the level of how to connect and switch on (e.g. one line about using it for importing your own photos), there is a need to buy a book if you want to find out all the possibilites. I found another book much more straight forward and accessible for find the information you want to find. Its also half the size in physical dimensions and will fit into a pocket! I found the pocket guide to Apple TV much more useful. As you are probably buying without seeing the books when you buy through Amazon, if you are buying one, buy the pocket guide, unless you are addicted to the Dummies Series!

A Little Extra Help for beginners
6 Feb 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
This book would be helpful for someone unfamiliar on how to hook up items to their TV. ( like me). I gave this to my husband who had no experience with Apple items for Christmas. He told me that he has NOT had to refer to this book yet, that the directions on how to set up and use Apple TV were self explanatory. He is very happy with Apple TV and my techie brother is due to purchase one for his home ASAP.
Out of date.

Unless you have an older version of Apple TV, be advised that this book does not describe the current Apple TV.

Just OK not great
14 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is about as good as the manual you get with the Apple TV product itself. It is too simplistic and doesn't really cover anything new. I liked the Apple TV Pocket Guide much better. I can't recommend this book unless you get it at a discounted price.
