If you are troubleshooting/supporting Mac's, then this book will definitely help you out a lot.

Begininng from how to install leopard OSX down to Time Machine, this book is clearly written and easy to understand.Although its a bit thick!, yeah but it does contain a lot.

I work on Mac's mostly, and this book has been really helpful.Almost everything has been explained in much detail, although i doubt many would read it from beginning to end.

I did read through it in that fashion though, and appreciate the work of all the authors who worked on this.I did not have much background of 10.4 tiger, but reading this book will give you also brief idea about the previous OS/ and the core of it.

Syed.

The book is superb, but only if it's the printed hard copy version. In creating their Kindle version, the publisher embedded low-resolution .jpg images where diagrams and screen shots would be found in the printed book. Most are unreadable, and that's not acceptable in a book of this kind, where images are much more than just decorative. In addition, the savings vis-a-vis the printed book are negligible.

I've noticed also that newspaper subscriptions via Kindle are minus their photos and some of the articles. If the content quality doesn't perk up soon, I will be returning the Kindle reader.

The Bible is an excellent book as it does give the reader good instructions on the use of Leopard. However, I do not find it as user friendly as the Pogue book. The pictures and diagrams could be improved to make them more readable. As one reviewer said "if you can afford both, buy them". As a first choice I would pick the Pogue book.

This is my third Mac "Bible", and I have found all of them extremely useful. If you have ever had a desire to dig below the pretty surface to work out what is going on this is the book you need. Some reviewers have expressed a preference for Pogue's "Missing Manual". I own both and for me they compliment each other. What one misses, the other picks up. If you can afford it, get both.

I returned the David Pogue Missing Manual book when I could not find even one item that I needed information on in the index or book. I bought this Bible book instead and have been extremely happy with it. It has very detailed information and has answered all of my questions. I also returned the Missing Manual book on Microsoft Office for Macs and got the Bible series book for that. The bible books really explain how to do things and really have detailed info. I will stick with these books in the future.
