Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Leopard
Edition
by David Pogue
With Leopard, Apple has unleashed the greatest version
of Mac OS X yet, and David Pogue is back with another
meticulous Missing Manual to cover the operating system
with a wealth of detail. The new Mac OS X 10.5, better
known as Leopard, is faster than its predecessors, but
nothing's too fast for Pogue and this Missing Manual.
It's just one of reasons this is the most popular
computer book of all time.
Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition
is the authoritative book for Mac users of all technical
levels and experience. If you're new to the Mac, this
book gives you a crystal-clear, jargon-free introduction
to the Dock, the Mac OS X folder structure, and the Mail
application. There are also mini-manuals on iLife
applications such as iMovie, iDVD, and iPhoto, and a
tutorial for Safari, Mac's web browser.
This Missing Manual book is amusing and fun to read,
but Pogue doesn't take his subject lightly. Which new
Leopard features work well and which do not? What should
you look for? What should you avoid? Mac OS X:
The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition offers an
objective and straightforward instruction for using:
- Leopard's totally revamped Finder

There's something new on practically every page of
this new edition, and David Pogue brings his celebrated
wit and expertise to every one of them. Mac's brought a
new cat to town and Mac OS X: The Missing Manual,
Leopard Edition is a great new way to tame it.
