Summary: Essential for any Mac user
Comment: This book is a most valuable addition to my Mac bookshelf. I've learnt a lot from this book and would recommend it to anybody. It is informative, insightful and helpful. David is an excellent author. He explores many aspects of this new OS in good depth. This book has all the aspects a "missing" or a real-life manual would have plus more.
It's congratulations to David Pogue on a great book!

Summary: A great buy for Mac users, new or old
Comment: I consider myself a Mac power user, having worked with Macs for ten years, and taking the time to look under the hood. Over the years, I never bought a single book describing the Mac System or OS - I always found that (in the old days) the doc was sufficient, or that I could learn enough from magazines and on the net.
I bought this book more out of curiosity, and am extremely glad that I did. While I half-expected it to be a really basic presentation of the Mac OS 9, I was pleasantly surprised. Not only is it an excellent book for newcomers, but David Pogue presents all the tricks and shortcuts that you would be hard pressed to find in the help files. I learned so many useful things from this book, that I don't even regret the fact that the OS 9 doesn't come with a manual - David Pogue wrote a far better book than any manual Apple could write.

Summary: David Pogue can do no wrong!
Comment: Although I have since switched to Mac OS X (aka OS 10), I actually used this book first. It was an invaluable tool in easing my transition from Windows user to Macintosh user. I would recommend all Mac users switch to OS X as soon as possible since it's a much more stable and reliable version, but if you have an older Macintosh then OS 9 is a fine Operating System.
If you need help learning how to operate your Macintosh with OS 9 (OS = operating system - the graphic user interface that you see when you turn the Mac on) then you can do no better than this book.
If you're completely new to computers you'll find this book immensely helpful as it holds your hand in the first few chapters and explains how to use the GUI (graphic user interface), the mouse, the keyboard and so on.
If you're new to Macs it will also serve as a primer to get you up to speed very quickly on how to use the Macintosh and learn the Mac way of doing things.
If you're someone who knows how to use Macs this book will also help in the later chapters by showing you how to become a "Power User". It will help increase your productivity, teach you all the great short-cuts and keyboard combinations and so on.
All the books in the "Missing Manual" series are very easy to read, with detailed step by step instructions along with a fantastic index for simple cross-reference and nice pictures to further simplify the process of learning.
Be sure to check out "Mac OS X: The Missing Manual" if you're looking for the best and easiest to read book on Apple's fantastic new Operating System.
Unfortunately I'm limited to two thumbs because otherwise I'd be tempted to give this twenty thumbs way up!
