iPhone Field Guide

by David Sparks

With the iPhone Field Guide learn to get the most from your iPhone from this media-rich book that is sometimes user guide, sometimes opinionated app recommendations, and sometimes iPhone sensei. Built entirely in iBooks Author, this multimedia book includes screenshots, photo galleries, and video screencasts all engineered to make you an iPhone power user. There are over 50 screencasts adding up to over two hours of video instruction, 450 pages, 44 chapters, and over 65,000 words to help you learn how to squeeze every bit of awesomeness from your iPhone.

The material is accessible to beginners and power users alike with a thoughtful, fun, and systematic approach to iPhone mastery. Moreover, this book is beautifully designed and a joy to read. This is the seventh book in the MacSparky Field Guide series.

The book looks great on the Mac and iPad but, because it is about the iPhone, there is a separate scrolling mode for the book making it fully consumable on your iPhone. The video screencasts are even formatted to display on your iPhone.

Reviews

[Peter Sidell · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lot of information presented in a very readable way along with reviews of many useful apps. A great reference if you want to dig deeper and have a stronger sense of what can be done with the iPhone.

[Dave G · Rating 3 out of 5]

Plenty of good information if you don’t know much of what you’re doing with an iPhone, but there was less meat here than in many of DS’s books.
