Most of my family uses mac computers. My mom used to work in a UNIX/PC environment. She loves her mac, but often wishes she had a manual. Well now she does. This book is colorful and has a nice layout. My one small complaint with format is that I wished it was slightly bigger so that the font might be larger. Personally, I go to mac help or forums when I have difficulty, but if you, like my mom, prefer a book in hand, this just might be the perfect product for you.
