There were a few helpful things but not worth lugging around the weight of this book.

It showed me a few tricks-nothing I couldn't have found online.

Excellent reference but very basic and nothing new experienced users.

This book was helpful for figuring out how an iPad works. There was a lot of stuff I didn't need, but it had the basics.
