The hottest collection of cool tips and hidden secrets for the pro who needs results FAST! Not another newbie book. OS X Killer Tips speaks directly to the daily Mac user who needs to get the most out of their Mac NOW. Other such books tend toward fluffiness, where Killer Tips is all business. Time is money and a lot of experienced users find themselves trying to save time by skimming through larger computer books in order to pull out the useful nuggets of info that are often placed within what we call sidebars (i.e. those Note/Tip/Warning boxes). The Killer Tips series was developed by Scott Kelby because he recognized how useful non-beginning technology users find those cool 'I didn't know THAT' sidebars that are peppered all over the other computer books out there. This book is all about speed; showing the Mac professional how to get more work done faster, while actually increasing quality. Mac OS X is quickly winning back the ground Apple lost in the 1990s, with its Unix underpinnings (bulletproof and versatile) and its graphical user interface (the best on the market by far). Mac OS X Killer Tips is like its subject in that it's both stylish and rich in features. In fact, almost all the fat that typically pads books about software has been pared away, leaving only the material that would populate the sidebars and icon-tagged tips in a traditional book. The tips, carefully laid out with full-color illustrations, make interesting reading regardless of whether you're skimming, reading straight through, or using the index to locate tips that are relevant to a particular part of Mac OS X. A typical tip is about 200 words in length--about as long as this capsule review--and gets straight to the point about some detail of Mac OS X (some tips document features that are less well known than others). Sometimes, the fact being revealed is nothing more than a keyboard shortcut (such as the one for putting a machine to sleep quickly). Other tips cover more involved procedures (the one for bringing back the Trash can--missing by default from the Mac OS X desktop--is an example). Scott Kelby knows his Mac--he edits a Mac magazine--and though there could be more about the Unix side of things, you're sure to learn a new trick from the several hundred nuggets of knowledge he's packed into this book. --David Wall Topics covered: How to get the most out of Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther). Tips explain little-known features of iLife, iTunes, Sherlock, and the Mac OS X core software. Nothin' but sidebars!

It's not for someone wanting to learn OSX but for those who know OSX and want some great shortcuts. It's a great supplement for those other "how-to" books. Recommended by www.onlymacintosh.com - Enjoy! Rating - The Killer Tips aren't very killer ... This is the only poor review I've ever given and its not because Scott Kelby wrote a poor book - he just wrote a book thats not very useful. I bought this book the same time I purchased my first Apple computer. I bought it to learn how to use Mac OS X, which I hadn't used at the time. Unfortunately, while I found the OS very easy to use, the book contained mostly common sense "tips" that wouldn't be much use to someone who has any ... Read More Rating - This book rocks! I have used a Mac since 1984 and Mac OS X since it was public beta. However, I don't always have the time to figure out all the little time saving tips on my own. I learned several tips from this book that I now use on a daily basis. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to be more productive with Panther! Rating - Highly recommended! This book is not on the same level as the Visual Quickstart Guides that come from Peach Pit Press, but in some ways it is better. This title from New Riders Publishers (but still distributed through Peach Pit Press) is MUCH smaller at only 300 pages, but it also has less information in it because much of the interface it dedicated to graphics showing pictures of the various apps and utilities discussed in the book. Having said that, this ... Read More see more reviews See all books by author Scott Kelby
