 Best MAC OS X Book May 28, 2008

We purchased several other OS X 10.5 books but this one is the best by far. The book is structured for learning and reference with examples and text on the same page. The book also demonstrates just about any thing you may want to do in concise straight forward language with clear examples. For the beginner or intermediate this book is excellent.

Maria Langer's Mac OS X 10,5 Leopard is excellent for detailed information, presented straightforwardly and without embellishment. Contrast it to David Pogue's "Mac OS X Leopard--The Missing Manual, which is, as ever, wildly entertaining,but somewhat less effective in presentation.
Langer's book allows you to look up something quickly, while Pogue's is more of a good (tech) read at the beach.
