I am interested in learning more about Leopard, but I am new to Mac and don't want a book that is hard to understand. Is this a good book? Your thoughts and recommendations.
Got a tip for us?

From what I can see in the Amazon reviews of this book, most say it's a good book for beginners. Same sort of reviews with another book called "The Little Mac Book, Leopard Edition".

Depends on your computer skill level. I have both the Peachpit book and Pogue's Missing Manual. The Peachpit is well written and very easy to understand. It doesn't go into details as fully as the Missing Manual. So if you are beginning in all things computers, I'd recommend Peachpit. If you're used to Windows and are new to Apple, the Missing Manual may be better. It covers subjects more fully, but expects you to know something about computers. Hope this helps,

Yep good point that best not presume anything as the OP didn't state his/hers computer skills to start with
i'm fairly new to switching (switched last november? i still consider myself abit of a newbie) so thought i'd give my 2 cents...
i didn't use any book or anything, but consider myself to know alot about the os. but, i am very computer literate. i'm also a student, so had a fair bit of time on my hands. i basically just read the stuff on the apple site and spent abit of time on here. u also get to know it well from experience.

You guys are the BEST! I am going to check out the two books today and see which fits my experience.
