Product Description:
Mac OS X Leopard is the new cat in town, and wait until you see all the tricks it can do! Whether you’re new to the Mac or a longtime Mac-thusiast, Mac OS X Leopard For Dummies is the fun and friendly way to have your Leopard purring in no time.
While the Mac has built its reputation in part on being user-friendly, OS X Leopard has lots of features that do lots of things—and that’s where Mac OS X Leopard For Dummies puts you a step ahead. If you’re meeting your first Mac, start at the beginning and you’ll feel like a pro in no time. If you’re familiar with earlier incarnations of OS X, you can jump right to the chapters on organizing your files and getting a sneak peek with Quick Look, backing up with the cool new Time Machine, using Spaces to manage Finder and application windows, and getting down with all the cool Mac multimedia features.

- Search smarter with Spotlight
- Sync your contacts and calendars
- Watch movies, play music, and download digital photos or video
- Start video chats on the fly

Written by Bob LeVitus, a.k.a. “Dr. Mac”, Mac OS X Leopard For Dummies is quite likely the fastest and easiest way to tame a Leopard!

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not much help
This book is really no different from his book on the last Mac operating system. He's really just a cheer leader for Apple. I tried his web site then phoned with a question, and got NO reply. Save your money. There has to be a better book out there on Macs.
Rating:  - Good enough.
This is a good guide, very basic though. The writer talks like this is your first time with a machine. Very visual also. Perfect for perfect beginners.
Rating: - The real thing...
This is a very helpful Dummies book. I read it cover to cover and continually use it as a reference.
Rating:  - Go Buy It
[...]
This is a fact. New user, or old time mac person. THIS is the book to get. This is my first for dummies book.
Very well written. All your questions are answered. Loaded with info that Apple should have given out with every new computer running leopard. Just buy it. you wont be sorry. Pay no attention to any bad reviews.
Rating:  - Leopard manual
This manual seems thorough and well written, full of information, but a problem seems to be that when you come down to details, they're hard to find. Maybe a problem with all manuals, not just David Pogue. For example, as a new Mac user, I have trouble figuring out how to delete things, and how to change their names without re-saving, and haven't found help here. There is also no mention of Office for Mac, which surely most Leopard users use, and where these details are especially important.
