I have just purchased Osx 10.5.6 Leopard and to my surprise and disappointment the enclosed booklet is no more than glossy pictures of the Osx features.
I did expect it to contain more 'How to' pages.
This seems to be the standard nowadays! :(
Can anyone recommend a good book of Osx 10.6 know how, as I do like to have something to read rather than looking up stuff in a online help menu.
Many Thanks!
:)
 
Unfortunately its not included, probably to be more "green", but also because this type of stuff is moving online (unfortunately for someone like you who wants a hard copy). You can DL a PDF @ Apples website...I guess printing it out is the only way to get a physical copy =\

You want the one titled "Welcome to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (Manual)"
 
There are some good books - I'd suggest Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual by David Pogue. HELP when are you in Finder (Menu bar) can also be useful.

Thanks!
The 1 you suggested em is the one that I was talking about thats included.
I may invest in 'The Missing Manual'.
BTW, can someone advise of how I can print the pages but fit twice as much on a4 paper, so for example if there were 10 pages to print that I can fit them on 5. I have tried rescaling but that only makes the document take up less space on 1 page (does not fit the next one on there etc).
Many Thanks!

I got Pogue's Leopard book, and so far, think it's about on par with the "dummy's" books. It gives you a little bit about a bunch of topics, but doesn't go very far in detail on any one. It does get you started, but I wound up looking online anyway for the additional detail.

That having been said, I realize I didn't read all of it, so I'll give it another go...
