Book Reviews of The Macintosh iLife 08
Book Review: A "Must Have" Companion to iLife
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a big fan of Jim Heid's iLife books (and videos). I first discovered Jim on the Apple web site beginners video tutorials for iLife '05. I was so impressed by his video tutorials, I bought the iLife '05 book. I recommended the book and bought the book for several friends who were iLife users - experienced and novice. I continued to use the iLife '05 book when I upgraded to iLife '06.
I particularly like the way the books are laid out. The book is consistent throughout with the structure and layout of each chapter and each page. The "one complete topic per page" template is very effective for a beginning-to-end read because it carves all of the applications into wonderful "bite sized" pieces that anyone will find easy to understand. It is also great for a reference because you can find the 2-page spread relating to your particular interest, and know just how to read the page to get what you are looking for.
The only disappointment in the iLife '08 book - no accompanying DVD. I LOVED the DVD that came with the iLife '05 book. That book covered all the bases - you could sit down with the DVD and in about an hour get a great introduction and be off and productive in using any of the applications. You could then go to the book and read it, or just use it as reference, but you'll quickly find yourself "drawn into" reading the entire book, because each topic is so well written and there are so many "gems" you can find.
Despite the lack of the DVD :-( I still highly recommend this book as the "Must Have" companion to iLife.
