Book Reviews of The Little Mac Book, Leopard Edition

Book Review: Great Reference Book
Summary: 4 Stars

Being new to computers and at an age when my memory is a little dull-I like having this book on hand for the basic questions. I apparently thought I was ordering the leopard edition when I must have been looking at the tiger reviews. I was disappointed in that but it still has information that I needed and it is presented in a way that makes learning this computer stuff not so scary to me. It helped me loosen up and I like the way Robin Williams leads me through practice runs so that I'm not just reading about it. The shipping from the seller I used was very slow and I will not order from them again, but the book itself was in good shape and the price was good. Thanks Amazon!

Summary of The Little Mac Book, Leopard Edition

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.

A classic returns, this time updated to include Mac OS 8.6, the iMac, and more Internet material. The Little Mac Book will fit your needs extraordinarily well if you've chosen to get into personal computing by way of a Macintosh computer and want a friendly and thorough guide.

Robin Williams--no, not the comic actor--assumes her readers have no computer experience at all. She provides explanations of all the essentials as well as the perennial stumper for all Mac novices--how to get the floppy disk out of its drive! She also explains why hooking Macs together in a network is easier than you might think and shows how to use Sherlock to extract the information you need from the Internet. Since she focuses on Mac OS 8.6 in general, her approach is suitable for users of all Macs who use that system, including the iMac and iBook. Throughout, her love for the Mac and its community of users is obvious.

A lot of effort has gone into this book's design too--there are few slapped-in screen shots and lots of carefully trimmed and laid-out illustrations. Not enough publishers put this kind of care into their books' production. As a result of the collaboration between Williams and her publisher, The Little Mac Book is a joy to look at, hold, read, and use. --David Wall

Topics covered: The Mac OS 8.6 system; the mouse, the keyboard, file management, Mac text editing, and Internet tips.
