This book covers the new version of Mac OS X with patience, clarity, and depth. Features are explained and demonstrated in way that novices can understand and do right away, while experienced users will also find enough details to answer their questions, too.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.David Pogue has done it again. I always learn something new from him. In this case, I was blown away by the depth of this amazingly thorough coverage of OSX Mavericks. I've been a Mac user since the beginning, and am called upon from time to time by other Mac users who need help doing something. Usually, things work out, but not always. With this manual, though, I expect the "not always" part of the previous sentence will disappear. From beginning to end, we are shown what can be done and how to do it -- not the one way to do things, but rather the many ways to accomplish most tasks.
The Missing Manual series is a great public service. Sure, you can usually figure out things by using the help screens, but why not have a variety of tools show more at your fingertips? this book provides exactly that, and I recommend it highly. show less

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Like all of the Missing Manuals books, this one was well written and accessible.
I always find one or two tips that make these books worth the price of admission. I didn't in this book, or I would have given it 5 stars. It's still a solid reference.
