Book Reviews of The Little Mac Book, Leopard Edition

Book Review: Conquers the Leopard
Summary: 5 Stars

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!

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.
