Customer Reviews

Perfect for Beginners!!!

I bought my first Mac one year ago and was completly new to the OS operating system. I didn't have time to waste and I wanted a book that would get me started RIGHT AWAY. This was that book. Easy to understand, beautiful graphics and JUST THE BASICS. As the year went on, I bought some more in-depth books on OS (The Missing Manual, etc) and some application specific books (Final Cut, Adobe, etc) but I'll always remember this book as the one that got me started. Great for kids, older people or just new Mac users who want to GET STARTED RIGHT AWAY. For those users, this book gets 5 stars.

Maran Illustrated MAC OSX

Excellent reference for new MAC or OSX users. Clearly illustrates all of the necessary operations to get familiar with the MAC. The pictures are clear and complete with no ambiguity.

love this book

I found this book very easy to follow. It is well worth the purchase. It should be included with every new apple computer purchase.

Very informative and user friendly computer guide. Pictures are very helpful.

Beginners Level Beautiful Book

The folk at Maran do beautiful books. This one is no exception. It is intended for the beginner to get started quickly. If you're an expert on previous versions of the software, this book will not do you much good. But if you just bought your first Mac and it has Tiger on it, this is a good place to start. As an indication of the level of this book, the book starts out with the sentence: 'Tiger controls the overall activity of your computer and ensures that all parts of your computer work together smoothly and efficiently.' As you can see, that's pretty basic. What makes the Maran books so good is the quality of the graphics they incorporate as part of their philosophy. The pages in their books look good, they are easy to follow, the screen shots match up with their descriptions of what's going on (sometimes it seems that the description and the screen shot are several pages apart, but not with Maran). Conclusion, Beginners level, but probably the best Beginners level book available.
