Teach Yourself Visually Mac OS X v. 10.3 Panther

Summary: Visually arresting info for most users
Review: The Teach Yourself Visually guides are outstanding for those who may feel overwhelmed by the Panther OS -- and the heavily textual manuals that are available. This may not be comprehensive (that's not its aim). but it does a fine job of picking out the things a Panther user would most likely want to do, and outline explanations clearly and with abundant illustrations.

This is fun to flip through, emulating the heady experience of actually using the latest Mac OS. The information here is available in other guides, of course, but none can surpass the simplicity of Maran's presentation. It's recommended especiallu for newer users, who can likely find what they're looking for in the excellent index.

It's so good at what it does that you want it to be longer. That's its only real drawback, which speaks well for what it does cover.
