Format:Paperback
As expected, a great book. I had no computer experience and this publication led me through the most important aspects of snow leopard to give me a perfect base for getting started. As Bob says, the book cannot tell you everything, it'd have to be a foot thick, but for those starting out i couldn't recommend it enough.

Anyone new to Macs should buy this book. It's easy to dip in and out of to find immediate answers to a problem. By doing a little bit of reading I solved a computer/printer issue - Apple were unable to do this, as were Hewlett Packard. So well done The Missing Manual Team.

After years on Windows, I took the plunge and invested in the awesome Macbook. The problem was, it was like starting from scratch and having to learn a completely new way of working and surfing. After several hours browsing I decided Mac OS X Snow Leopard for Dummies was the best bet and I seem to gave made the right choice. The book is easy to follow, either from page one and read as and educational tool, or like me, use the index and learn about what you want - when you want. There were several things I needed to know straight away and this book came up with the solutions I needed within minutes. So, if like me, you're a novice to the joys of a Macbook and OS X then invest a few £'s and buy this book. It'll get you kick-started in the right direction and become an invaluble tool for future referance.
