Reviews

[Jonathan · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very good introductory book for those who wish to (or have already) switched from PC to Mac. I bought this at the same time as I purchased my first Mac. It was an invaluable tool in assisting my professional and personal switch to Apple.

Haven't seen more recent editions, but Pogue is a genius at making any complex seem easy.

[Phil Gladden · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a very informative and funny book. I read this back in the 7.0 days but Im sure the newer editions are just as good.
