Summary: A Common-Sense Book NOT Written for Dummies
Review: David Pogue has a genius for making the seemingly-complex simple enough for the average person to understand. This is the perfect gift for a writer writing about the Macintosh system; once you get over your intimidation about computers by following Pogue's straightforward and sometimes humorous examples, the user-friendliness of the Mac makes itself obvious, and you're on your way. An excellent, useful book for beginner and seasoned user alike!

Summary: Very difficult to understand - being a Microsoft Word user
Review: Found the very simple task of finding/changing specific spaces/words in a document very difficult to understand. Having typed the document I now want to change the spacing between each word from one space to two. Very simple in Word but how in Mac please?

Summary: Learn your Mac the easy way!
Review: Honest, folks, what I knew about the Mac was this: start it up, & that's about it. I bought my Mac, and shortly thereafter picked up a copy of this wonderful book, and learned my entire Macintosh within about a week. In my opinion, Apple should bundle this fantastic book with every Mac sold, and include a coupon for the purchase of More Macs for Dummies, as well! The author, David Pogue, is very accessable to his readers, as well, by email and online, and is just a delightful fellow, as is reflected in this book. Keep a copy right next to your Mac for easy reference

Review: I could not believe a technical book could be, at once, amusing yet helpful. As I turned the pages, I laughed, I learned, I bought an iMac. Now, I am almost finished with More Mac For Dummies and all I want is MORE!!! Please, Mr. Pogue, MORE MORE Mac For Dummies. Thank you so much.

Summary: PC users can only *wish*...
Review: I have owned several PCs, I recently bought an iMac, and pretty much for the most part knew what to do, but I always knew Macs could do more, and be more friendly to use. This book helped perfectly with some basic problems I faced as well as answer some more higher end questions I had. This book will help the computer literate person who need a quick reference for any questions you have, or if you are buying your first computer, this book will make using it easier and more enjoyable.

Summary: Well written, funny, and informative
Review: I read this book a few years ago when I bought a used Mac Plus at a garage sale. Mr. Pogue put me on track with my old computer in a very short time. After a few few months, my relatives and friends were calling me for advice. In many cases I was able to help using what I learned in this book.One extra with this book. David pogue is one funny writer. I really enjoyed the humor that went along with all the training. I soon upgraded my computer. I Emailed the author to thank him and ask for some musical software advice. True to his word he took time to answer my questions. This impresses me that in today's world an author will make a commitment to help his readers past the point of sale of his book. Thanks Mr. Pogue! Great book!
