This is the kitchen sink of books, but our plumber has that smell good freshness about him that you really don't equate with plumbing. So that metaphor was a stretch it not for a series that prides itself on being 'The Missing Manual.'

The 'Missing Manual' series' tagline is 'The book that should have been in the box,' and that's exactly what this is. At 900 pages, the book covers everything that the end user needs to know, and is written in a fun, accessible style that keeps things engaging rather than dry without tipping over into the corny lulz that tend to plague the 'For Dummies' series.

When I had to switch from Windows to Mac OS for work, a colleague suggested this series. This book was invaluable in learning how Macs work and getting comfortable and proficient with the new system. There are a lot of great tips on all kinds of topics. Now that I have to switch back, I'll be getting the Windows book.

Most tech books about applications and operating systems tell you that you can do this and that, but this book tells you why you would want to do this or that and that’s another reason why its rare and special. That's why most of my Microsoft books are collecting dust and I have learned to use the software the hard way and its features through serendipity. But this is David Pogue.
Ah, 'Spotlight' is a magnificient tool in the Mac. It does so much more than meets the eye.
David Pogue's Missing Manuals are absolutely indispensable. This one saved my sanity when I first converted from PC to Mac.

If you use a Mac, you probably should own this book. If, like me, you are NEW to the Mac, and you don't own this book, then you're doing yourself a grave disservice.
Very good book for those of us familiar with the early Apple days, but not familiar with the new operating system (OS X). It covers it all in a easy to read format. Good reference.

I've been working with UNIX for 20, er ok 25yrs and still thought it'd
be a good idea to get the manual. It's a useful one, save a lot of
headscratchin' time.

Mac Os X The Missing Manual

Price: $29.95
Trial: Sample Chapter
I first reviewedMac OS X: The Missing Manual exactly a year ago, in which time Mac OS X has changed considerably. The inevitable release of version 10.2, code-named Jaguar, brought a much-hyped myriad of changes, additions, and improvements to the operating system, and has prompted a much-needed update to its counterpart in the Missing Manual series. This review will only cover changes made in this edition.
The first noticeable change to this book is its thickness. The second edition adds more than a hundred pages to the first, and Pogue claims that not a single page has been left unchanged in the overhaul. Most of the screen shots have been updated to reflect the subtle interface changes in 10.2, and all the confirmed errata submitted by readers of the first edition are no longer present.
More importantly, the book is now much less involved in explaining the differences between OS X and its predecessor, OS 9. Bearing in mind a lot of new Mac users are former Windows users, Pogue has aptly chosen to refrain as much as possible from mentioning Mac OS 9 outside its own chapter. Additionally, the useful “Where’d It Go?” appendix has been split into two appendices, one covering Mac OS 9 features and the other covering Windows features.
Certain chapters have been slightly reorganized to reflect changes to 10.2 itself. System Preference panes are now explained in alphabetical order rather than by category, and the distinction between Terminal and the Unix that lies underneath OS X’s graphical user interface is now made much clearer. New sub-chapters have been created for the new Find function and Menulets, and my favorite chapter—Hacking Mac OS X—has happily been expanded.
The section which has seen the most changes is Part Five: Mac OS X Online. A whole new chapter covers Sherlock 3, iChat, and iCal, and .Mac (née iTools) is explained in full, along with Mail’s new spam filter and the new personal firewall. Finally, this book no longer takes you through Mac OS X menu by menu: that appendix has disappeared. In its place is a much-requested (and much more useful) “master list” of keystroke combinations.

There are a number of related titles available from O’Reilly worthy of mention if you find yourself wanting to learn more, which weren’t around when the first edition was published. Pogue has written a separate Missing Manual for switchers from the Windows world, as well as a short book containing hundreds of tips and tricks. Those who want to learn more about the Unix aspect of OS X should look at Dave Taylor and Brian Jepson’s Learning Unix for Mac OS X, also from O’Reilly.

Mac OS X: The Missing Manual could only have improved, and this new edition does by no means disappoint. The second edition is current as of version 10.2.1, and new editions will surely surface as OS X progresses through version 10.2.3 and beyond. If you already own the first edition, there is not a lot you will discover in the second, providing you actively follow OS X-centric Web sites such as the excellent MacOSXHints.com. If on the other hand you have not yet bought this book, seriously consider it. It’s still the best starting point to OS X there is.
