Alejandro Quesada

Osprey Publishing, 2007

Excellent Osprey book - ignore review below

A necessary 1st step for new Mac users.
Why doesn't Apple make a book like this? even on a CD included with the computer? These are powerful machines, yet it takes a 3rd party to explain how to use that power. I was going to give this book a 4, until I remembered this is for 1st time users of Macs ...
