Rating  - It's what was needed...
David Pogue once more explains all the things we never knew were buried in Leopard.
Rating  - Great companion to the new Mac OS Leopard software!
This is definitely the book that should have been in the software box. This is the 4th Missing Manual from David Pogue that I have purchased for my Mac OS upgrades, and all of them have helped me master my software. David's writing is easy to understand and gets straight to the point. I keep it on a shelf only an arms length away form my Mac. I use it constantly as my "Go-To reference guide. Thank you Mr. Pogue.
Rating - The missing reviews
This book is good over all but I found it disappointing that there was nothing on iphoto or imovie, they claim it's not part of OS X yet they came with my mac. So make sure you buy those as well if you are interested in learning how to use those programs.

This is a fantastic book, just what we needed as we were switching from PC to Mac - clear, but detailed enough to really get us going.\

Rating - Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual
As a newbie to Mac OS, I needed help quickly and found that the Mac help screens, while useful, were just not getting me up to speed. I guess I'm a "book" guy and missed having a printed manual. I have several "Missing Manual" books in my library, so I didn't hesitate to pick this one up.
At almost 900 pages, prepare to be overwhelmed at first, but the chapters are lain out in functional blocks that helped me get started in a logical fashion. The book is well illustrated and the index seems comprehensive. As is the trademark of the "Missing Manual" books, the writing is excellent, occasionally a bit irreverent and light hearted, but always focused on the topic. The book is filled with lots of "newbie" tricks and shortcuts, as well as enough information to serve as a reference manual for standard Mac software included in OS X.
There is no accompanying CD, but all practice file material, listed Web Addresses, and downloadable software are available for download at www.missingmanuals.com.
I recommend Mac OS Leopard: The Missing Manual, for all users new to OS X and those that just want a desk side reference guide to OS X Leopard.
