"Great for a newbie Mac user"
This is my first time owning a mac, and this book is excellent giving every detail you could possibly imagine to help in the transition from a PC to a Mac. Also, I'm a very detailed person and need good explainations and this book has gone far beyond my expectations and I'd honestly recommend this book to any friend of mine. Enjoy.

"Mac OS 10.5 Leopard by Robin Williams - Peachpit Learning Series"
As a semi computer illiterate grandmother trying to keep up with the technology world, this book is super. It's written and organized in an easy to understand and friendly manner, yet with enough personality to be interesting. I've been using Macs for 20 years and now have a new laptop with Leopard. Robin's book is my bible for bridging into this new operating system. I travel full time in a motorhome, and Robin's book is conveniently at my side with the answers.

"Good Introduction to Leopard"
This book is a good introduction to Mac OSX Leopard especially for a convert from a PC.

" well written, excellent,color illustrations,"
Robin Williams is one woman Mac powerhouse. She's been around a long time, and knows how to write so we quickly understand and grasp her points.
Her first book I read, when I was new to Mac's was an industry favorite called The Little Mac Book. She has a knack for talking to you, not down, and when I picked up that book, I was a newbie. I also read one of her design books, for she is diversified, from graphic arts to now Shakespeare author, and we can catch her on cruises. If you get a chance, do!

This book, was a choice for me to get some basics on Mac's latest OS - Leopard, and I knew Robin would guide me, offer tips, and have illustrations, and yes, they're in color. Peachpit Press is a great company, an old guard company, that publishes just the best, and this is one. The book is designed to take the reader from being introduced to Macs, and it's Operating System, and take you from there. Since I've been into Macs for many years now, not sure how many, I went through the beginning quickly, but often because the catchy design approach, illustrations, I would stop, read, and learn something I'd not known.

The book is laid out in it's Contents at a Glance. It uses lessons, from 1 - Introduction to the Mac OS X Desktop through 24 on page 415: Secure your Mac and it's Files. So I found I could look in general for topics in this organization, or on the next page is a more detailed approach, or a true table of contents, often going page by page, with topics, and sub topics.
For example:

Mac OS X Applications is a section starting in chapter's 3 - 14, with 3 being Introduction to Mac OS X Applications, and topics under it being,
Know your Applications Folder, Applications Integration, What I've Not Covering, and Know the Common Features of the Mac Apps. So you see that it's set up to take you directly to where you want to go quickly.

The color illustrations are excellent, and Robin gives you simple language approach to what you see. She writes, designs and does the type preferences. For example when I wanted some guidance on an Video Chatting ( page 169), she goes step by step, with photos so I could know what to expect/see on my Mac. She uses red circles around what I was directed to use my cursor to hit. The screen shots were excellent. And allowed me to quickly grasp what she was teaching me. Just like if she were sitting next to me, pointing at my computer with a laser pointer.

I highly recommend the book, for beginners to immediate. I only wish she'd added a couple of chapters for more advanced.

What our customer's say!

"Not that Great", If you are familiar with computers in general, all the information found on the book are there for free on the internet. Don't waste your money buy this book. There plenty of other choices out there. I was extremely disappointed with this book and it was a waste of money .. Look at alternative before you buy



"Max OS X 10.5 Leopard: Peachpit Learning Series", I recommend this book for anyone new to Leopard, it is very easy to read and understand, plus its offers color diagrams. It's worth the money!

"OK for New Users", Great book for newbies and kids, but nothing substantial for long-time Mac users needing maintenance and security info. I also found her cutesy writing personality totally annoying. If you want a seriously excellent Mac OSX book, of which there seems very few, go to the consummate expert, David Pogue. He uses humor, gets to the point and help at the same time.

"OK but basic info", This is an OK book but I was expecting more! It was very basic and I was looking for a more advanced manual. More on scurity and firewalls etc.

"BEST Mac Tutorial Book I've Found", This is hands down the best Mac tutorial book I've found.
I have had both PCs and Macs. Got my first computer in the early 90s. So I've seen my share of confusing poorly written software books and manuals. This is by far the best I've come across.
Robin Williams writes in a totally non-intimidating, clear, easy to understand style that makes getting around Leopard an absolute breeze and a pleasure. This book is super simple to follow yet has all the more in depth knowledge to enable the novice and accomplished Applehead to get FULLY up to speed and to master their Mac/Leopard in no time.
"Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Peachpit Learning Series" is the first book I have purchased by this author but I will definitely look for her computer texts first in the future.
Thanks for helping to make mastering my Mac so much fun Robin. (:

"A bit basic but well written, might be for you if you feel lost in the new OS X Leopard", I am an advanced PC user just switched to Mac and will not go back. I got this book like many of you because at the time (right after thanksgiving) it was the only REAL Leopard book out. I went thru the first 100 pages and brought it with me to my Mom's house over the holiday. She is also a new MAC user, but not as advanced in PC so it was perfect for her. Since she loved it and it seemed to answer all the questions that she had, I let her have it since I wanted to go for the Pouge bookS, both the OS X Leopard and I Movie and I DVD 08.

I am just purchasing these books now and have not got them yet, so I can't yet comment on if they are better or not.

I will say, as others have, Robin Williams has a very good writing / explaining style, and I found the book well written and easy to understand.

I would say if you just got a MAC and it is your first computer, or if you just got your FIRST Mac, making the switch from Windows and you are feeling a bit LOST, then this book might just be for you, however if you are finding it a breeze to get around on your new MAC as I am, then look for either another book on the OS or just get the books on the particular applications that interest you as they will have WAY more info then any OS book can fit into it.

Hope this helps some of you out there make up your mind which book is right for you.

"Poor indexing", I bought this the day I bought my first MAC because it was the only thing available and I had never used a MAC before. I struggled through it for 2 1/2 months thinking I was really a dunce at understanding Leopard. Then, someone gave me the MAC O X Leopard Edition by DAvid Pogue for Christmas and I realized this book was just not user friendly, it wasn't me.

On most topics, I had to try several times and guess at how the topic might be listed before I was able to locate the issue I wanted in the index. The instructions for progressing from the beginning use of the system forward were awkward and unclear. The Pogue book made more sense and I learned more after 10 minutes with it than I had with all my time with this book. In the author's defense, it may be that I was such a novice that things I know know have made my understanding clearer. That said, several of the topics I had never been able to really understand in this book were fully explained in the other.

I would recommend the Pogue book first.

"Good basic Leopard reference", The book is well written and provides clear guidance, as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough. It doesn't cover, for example, any of the iLife components of Leopard which are so essential to a a high quality of life in Mac cyberspace. This leaves us MacAddicts searching for other in-depth references to round out our library. The author makes it clear in the text that she has consciously omitted these major bells and whistles because they're not part of the Mac OS, but since her book was the first one out, while Leopard was still in beta testing, I think maybe at least part of the truth is that the full scope of the software wasn't clear yet. I've also struggled with "getting under the hood" of Boot Camp and Time Machine, neither of which are covered in depth in this book. I had to find out for myself, for example, that Time Machine only backs up the Mac partition of the iMac boot drive. And I still haven't figured out how Airport works on the Windows side of the boot drive, nor does this book (or the Apple support site, for that matter) enlighten me much on that issue. Now it's looking like I'll have to invest in a family of Mac reference books when I had hoped to have just one that tells all. That was probably naive of me in the first place!

"Robin Williams and Peachpit Press always provide terrific Mac learning Manuals.", Robin Williams has a real gift for teaching Mac systems and software in a straightforward and enjoyable manner. Peachpit Press produces well-made and visually well-organized learning manuals.

"Good beginner book", Being a mac owner for the past 4 years, I pretty much know how a mac works, so I didn't buy this book as a mac newbie. When I bought this book I was hoping to get a more thorough look at how the leopard os works. I learned a few tips here and there, but it really wasn't what I was looking for. But that's what you get when you buy online without previewing it first.
