 Mac OS X Leopard "The Missing Manual" should be included by Mac. August 29, 2008
A great book -- I can't imagine anything better -- and yes, it is missing from the OS X Leopard, but hey -- Apple only charged $129 for this product, while the book would add significantly (at least percentage wise) to this price, and many wouldn't need this book even if included. But it is necessary for a newbie like me.
And note that there are other "Missing Manuals" in this series supporting Mac products. For example I already have their iMovie '08 & iDVD manual, and also their iPhoto '08 - a separate manual all by itself. These are all by David Pogue, and are products of O'Reilly Media of Canada. Maybe there are more, and I'll look for them when I get a min. David Pogue BYW is the technology columnist for the New York Times, and an Emmy-winning CBS correspondent besides being the creator of the Missing Manual series.
 Love the Book! August 28, 2008

This is the manual that should've been included with the MAC. It has all the IN's & OUT's of the various applications as well as a guide to the hardware. As a new user to the MAC platform I found it very useful and will keep it handy as a reference tool.
 Too much information August 12, 2008

I was looking for more of a "quick guide". This is great if you are looking for a desk reference book.

I'm in IT and my company is getting a few Macs. My last computer built by Apple was the IIc, so I thought I might need to brush up. I bought the Mac Mini, Mac OS X Leopard Bible, and the Missing Manual. I thought I'd need the Leopard Bible for the more complex tasks I'd need to do and as a good reference, but I have yet to do more than scan through it once or twice because the Missing Manual has it all. It's written in a way that doesn't assume you know a lot, yet doesn't insult you if you do and it is loaded with valuable information.
It's what was needed... August 2, 2008

David Pogue once more explains all the things we never knew were buried in Leopard.
