4.0 out of 5 stars A Leopard in your pocket, 17 Jan 2008

By	M. McEvoy (University of Manchester) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This guide to the new features of Mac OSX.5 is the latest update to the series. It's a true pocket book and is easy to carry around by those supporting this new OS or as a desktop reference to the user. Its clear contents and index allow you quickly find the topic or function you need, and its style a simple read. It took me four hours for the 190 pages and found myself quoting the new function buzz-words such as coverflow and stack quite naturally afterwards. The only drawback to this book is its over-enthusiasm for Macs over other systems. The truth is that Vista and Leopard have more similarities than XP and Tiger. For those Windows users who find they have to use a Mac OS for the first time, Leopard and this book are a good starting point. Also missing is any critical evaluation of how well the new features operate in general use. What you do get are clear and concise instructions of how to operate and configure this OS.

I am primarily a Windows user who needs to support Mac desktop systems at work. I already have solid knowledge to support Tiger, but many people in my workplace are moving on to Leopard right now. Having read and absorbed this book so easily, I would recommend it to any general user of Leopard or anyone who has to support users of the system. It does not contain any detailed troubleshooting of the system, but if you're new to Macs or OSX then this book will allow you to quickly make very good use of a Leopard system.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pocket Guide, NOT Reference, 28 Jan 2009

By	John Burns (London, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a windows guru and decided to convert to the Mac. I brought this book 3 months after taking the plunge.

This book is a "pocket guide" not a "pocket reference". As such it's more like a "For dummies" guide then a quick reference lookup.

Unlike most other O'Reilly pocket books, I find this book difficult to navigate and padded with lots of pointless text.

Keyboard shortcuts are spread throughout the book and it has very little in the way of technical troubleshooting (Yes, Macs do crash!).

If you're new to computers it's probably useful, but if you're a convert from a PC like me, most of the book will be teaching you stuff you learnt in the first day of playing on your shiny new Mac.
