Book Reviews of Mac OS X Tiger: Missing Manual

Book Review: Ideal desktop companion. Found it essential.
Summary: 5 Stars

What keys do you need to force-quit a program if it freezes and no amount of clicking produces a response? (It's not Ctrl + Alt + Dlt for sure.) How do you export a webpage or a document in PDF? How do you use sticky notes on Desktop or Dashboard? You may be able to Google for answers but it can be time-consuming. All I needed to do for answers was to look up the excellent index and go to relevant pages, where I invariably found what I was looking for. The author has anticipated a lot of questions many users might ask.

The book is designed beautifully. It's full of useful information and tips yet the pages are not cluttered. Screenshots provided are identical to what I get on my screen, which I know sounds daft but is actually quite reassuring, because I can be sure I'm doing the right thing.

If you are relatively new to Mac OS X or to 10.4 Tiger in particular, I think you will discover a lot of nice features which you would not otherwise be able to find yourself. All in all, definitely five stars for me.
