Amazon.com *Hmmmmm* To the Mac faithful, that's the lovely sound of the system starting up -- soon to be followed by the initial smiling computer icon. Unfortunately, as with many things in life, sometimes bad things happen. Expecting to receive a greeting from your familiar, cheerful icon, you hear chimes of doom and a frowning computer appears. Have no fear! Ms. Robin Williams, expert Mac author, is here! The last chapter of The Little Mac Book quickly runs through possible scenarios as to why your machine would be unhappy. But reading The Little Mac Book is like taking preventive medicine. Williams spends the first 300+ pages of The Little Mac Book introducing readers to the fascinating inner workings of the Macintosh system. With a greater understanding of the Mac's files and folders, you may never come to meet either the Sad Mac or -- more ominously -- the Dead Mac. With a style both chatty and informative, Williams has crafted a guide blissfully free of heavy-handed techno-garble. Instead, she provides a tour simple enough for the newest Mac owner and complete enough to teach experienced users a thing or two.
Product Description In this book?now in full color for the first time?Robin returns to one of her favorite things: teaching new computer users how to use and enjoy the Macintosh! Sit down at your Mac and let Robin introduce you to its basic features. Follow Robin’s step-by-step directions, and you’ll soon feel comfortable, confident, and able to do just about anything you want to do on your Mac. From using the mouse to surfing the web, from menu commands to keyboard shortcuts, you’ll acquire exciting new computer skills?and you’ll have fun in the process.

There is so much information in this one little book. It's one of my favorites.

I've been a Mac person since 1992 - just bought a MacBookPro and wss chugging along fine...till a couple of applications disappear from the Dock. (If you don't know what a Dock is, you really need this book!)
How do I figure this out? I type half a dozen phrases into the help form...no luck. So I look up this book and there it was. I learn all sorts of other things too.
Well, sometimes the online manuals just don't go far enough or they're too cumbersome to use. Who wants to spend half an hour tracking down a single phrase? When that happens, this book nicely fills the gap.
Easy and fun to read with many clear diagrams and screen shots. A nice companion to your new Mac!

I love the little mac book. Robin Williams presents the information in an easy and useful manner. Great for the beginner student.
This is not a "little" book!! February 26, 2008 cathy 0 out of 11 found this review helpful
I was seeking a pocket reference for my new Mac and figured since this was called "The Little Mac Book" (and had lots of good reviews) that it would be perfect. I can't speak to the content of this book, but...here's a heads up: This is NOT A LITTLE BOOK and by no means will fit in your pocket. Of course I should've looked more closely since the book's dimensions ARE provided with the description here. Yet another reason to shop at the bookstore. Oh well...live and learn!
little mac book...Leopard January 28, 2008 tanker (Nebraska) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The LMB (little Mac Book) was just what I was looking for.... it reviewed some of the basics, and did not assume that I knew more than I really did...glad I got it; wish I would have gotten the LMB for Tiger two years ago... I'd get the next LMB for the next new OS, whenever it makes it's appearance.... it does not assume you're a complete dummy; and was a little too basic in some areas, but great in others... And I love the discounted price....
