A good "How To" book for 1st time iMac user?

[DougY]

Could someone suggest a good book for a 1st Time iMac user, specifically with a focus on the new iMac, Snow Leopard OS, etc?
Thanks

Apple actually features a lot of free support articles that are very helpful and some have videos.

Just saying...

I got this one (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mac-OS-Snow-Leopard-Dummies/dp/0470435437/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1261440050&sr=1-3)

I used it a lot when I got my mac book.

David Pogue's book series is popular too... just get the version for the version of OS X you have.

I'm not sure this has been updated for Snow Leopard, but it's well written and it's for people switching from Windows to Mac.

Why do you need a book? I learnt to use a Mac at around 13, when I had never used one before.

Macs are indeed easy to learn, I've used one since I was 6, but learning all the intricacies of the system can be quite interesting and not so easy by yourself.

Although, there are a lot of free articles on the Internet about the OS, but it's not quite as handy as a fully-featured book :P

I would also suggest a David Pogue "Missing Manual" book. There is one for Snow Leopard available now, though I have the previous Leopard version.
It is very good for newcomers to Macs, and is also valuable for more experienced users who need updating on new features.
Can't go wrong with this I think.
