From the Author
Yum! iMacs are great!
Of all the Mac books I've written and worked on, this one is my favorite. I contributed to illustrations used in the book and took over 400 screen shots. I especially loved working on this book because every page is in full color.

I wrote this book for new and intermediate Mac users, emphasizing each of the hardware and software technologies that make iMacs great. More advanced topics, such as Mac OS, are covered in my other book, Teach Yourself Mac OS 8.5 in 24 Hours. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Not being particularly computer literate, and having only owned my iMac for two months, I had already managed to work out for myself most of the information in this book. I feel this book is far too basic for anybody with an ounce of common sense.

My Mac Magazine #52
3 Aug 1999
Format:Paperback
I can't help it! I'm totally enamored of how-to books that arefull of colorful pictures with numbered lessons. This title includeseleven color-coordinated thematic chapters, for easy and attractive navigation and study.
Flip to any page, and you will find:
* individual itemized tasks, charmingly illustrated
* columns of tips and techniques
* numbered lessons.
Let's try it, and thumb to page 194 and 195, containing "Part 8, Task 12: Using File Sharing:"
If your iMac is on a network, you can share files with other computers on the network. If another Macintosh is on the network, the other Mac can directly access the iMac on the network using File Sharing.
The author then proceeds to demonstrate how to select the File Sharing control panel, and in eight steps takes us to sharing "any Mac that logs onto your computer with guest access."
Ideal users of Easy iMac In Full Color are people who are new to the Mac, and who learn best via individual illustrated lessons. Lisa Lee thoughtfully makes the Internet her first priority, enabling readers to sign up and log in early in the book. If people want to delve deeper into additional Mac pursuits, they can do so at their own speed.
Both fun and serious subjects are covered, ranging from "Playing Games" and "Using Stickies" to "Editing a QuickTime Movie" and "Defragmenting a Disk." The design of the book is so appealing that I'm tempted to borrow Pete Miner's new iMac for a couple of months ("Don't even think about it, John!") so I can work through every lesson in Easy iMac In Full Color.
Don't buy this book for yourself if you are an experienced Macintosher. Instead, for $20 U.S., give it as a gift to someone who will let you use it whenever you need a little sparkle in your computing life.
