Product Description
Mac OS X Killer Tips is not another newbie book. OS X Killer Tips speaks directly to the daily Mac user who needs to get the most out of their Mac NOW. "Nothin' but sidebars!" Time is money. And a lot of experienced users find themselves trying to save time by skimming through larger computer books in order to pull out the useful nuggets of info that are often placed within what we call sidebars (i.e. those Note/Tip/Warning boxes). The Killer Tips series was developed by Scott Kelby because he recognized how useful non-beginning technology users find those cool "I didn't know THAT" sidebars that are peppered all over the other computer books out there. This book is all about speed; showing the Mac professional how to get more work done faster, while actually increasing quality. The whole concept is to help make the reader faster and more productive than ever using their Mac. In an ever-tightening and competitive marketplace, this kind of book is sorely needed.

Customer Reviews & Comments
I was very disapointed with this book. I bought Mac OS X The Missing Manual along with this book, but the Missing Manual is by far the superior book (for about the same price). This book uses full color pages, large type, and large screen captures to waste space. It could easily have been condensed into half the number of pages, or better yet, just put online in the form of a web page where something like this belongs. The tips are mostly very trivial and obvious ones - I'm not sure I came across a single one I wasn't already familliar with. I *suppose*, if you don't know any of the little keyboard tricks for navigating your mac quickly, this may be useful to you, but I think I'll be selling mine - I consider it a waste of money.
