This is a useful book for those new to Apple laptops but it also has handy hints for those who have used Macs for a long time but never took the time to learn many of the features. That brings up one of the strong points about Macs -- they are so easy to use that you don't need to spend much time educating yourself on how to use them. Consequently it is easy to be unfamiliar with useful shortcuts and tools and even some of the fun features.
