Reader Reviews
I'm a dedicated Mac user, early adopter and long-time customer for the Mac OS Bible, going back to the Lon Poole days. This venerable book has been around for more than a decade and has certainly seen its ups and downs. I am happy to report that this new edition is the most solid version of the book in years, and maybe ever. In addition to its definitive, user-friendly Tiger coverage, it is comprehensive in many other ways as well, even in regard to tips and techniques for using popular third-party apps. What I like most about the book is its easy-to-read get concise style that gets to the point of the topic without beating around the bush. I have yet to find a Tiger topic or answer to a question that this edition doesn't have covered. Great job, Litt & Co.
