5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for MAC beginners like me! Aug 8 2009
By Kara's Mom - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you're new to MACs (or not!) and just need basic info, this is your book. The MAC tutorials are great, but the book allows you to search for specific info quickly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book worth getting. Aug 28 2009
By Silver Wings - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The book arrived earlier than expected. It looked like new. The information in the Mac book was VERY HELPFUL in solving some of the questions I had about operating my MacBook Pro. The book is easy to read and understand the instructions.
