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.
 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.
BEST Mac Tutorial Book I've Found March 10, 2008

This is hands down the best Mac tutorial book I've found.
I have had both PCs and Macs. Got my first computer in the early 90s. So I've seen my share of confusing poorly written software books and manuals. This is by far the best I've come across.
Robin Williams writes in a totally non-intimidating, clear, easy to understand style that makes getting around Leopard an absolute breeze and a pleasure. This book is super simple to follow yet has all the more in depth knowledge to enable the novice and accomplished Applehead to get FULLY up to speed and to master their Mac/Leopard in no time.
"Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Peachpit Learning Series" is the first book I have purchased by this author but I will definitely look for her computer texts first in the future.
Thanks for helping to make mastering my Mac so much fun Robin. (:
Great for a newbie Mac user March 10, 2008

This is my first time owning a mac, and this book is excellent giving every detail you could possibly imagine to help in the transition from a PC to a Mac. Also, I'm a very detailed person and need good explainations and this book has gone far beyond my expectations and I'd honestly recommend this book to any friend of mine. Enjoy.
