Teach Yourself Visually / Macs

This is an excellent publication for a person considering the purchase of a Mac as it gives a comprehensive overview of the various Macs available and describes in detail how all or most of the many Mac features are accessed and used. I frequently use them as reference sources to access some feature or activate some process I haven't used before. I highly recommend this book to any prospective, and existing, Mac user as well as the 'Teach Yourself Visually / Mac OS X Leopard'.
