The Missing Manual series seriously rocks over most how-to software manuals I've looked at. This one is no exception. Awesome work to the Mr. Josh Clark and editors. Although I made the switch to Mac in 2009, I still am so accustomed to Word that it's hard for me to try something else. This is the book that's helping me use Pages.
