5 out of 5 stars OUTSTANDING! STRONGEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION!   December 28, 2008
I'm GLAD I took the time to get/read this book from cover to cover. I went from "n00bie" to having a pretty fair grasp of what's up with my Mac. I'd recommend it to all with no reservations whatsoever (it was positively the BEST book I found on Leopard).


1 out of 5 stars Not that Great   October 26, 2008
If you are familiar with computers in general, all the information found on the book are there for free on the internet. Don't waste your money buy this book. There plenty of other choices out there. I was extremely disappointed with this book and it was a waste of money .. Look at alternative before you buy




5 out of 5 stars Max OS X 10.5 Leopard: Peachpit Learning Series   June 3, 2008

I recommend this book for anyone new to Leopard, it is very easy to read and understand, plus its offers color diagrams. It's worth the money!


2 out of 5 stars OK for New Users   May 5, 2008
 5 out of 7 found this review helpful

Great book for newbies and kids, but nothing substantial for long-time Mac users needing maintenance and security info. I also found her cutesy writing personality totally annoying. If you want a seriously excellent Mac OSX book, of which there seems very few, go to the consummate expert, David Pogue. He uses humor, gets to the point and help at the same time.


3 out of 5 stars OK but basic info   April 23, 2008

This is an OK book but I was expecting more! It was very basic and I was looking for a more advanced manual. More on scurity and firewalls etc.
