Mac OS X Lion, The Missing Manual – Book Review
David Pogue’s latest “missing manual” has much in common with the many other “how-to” computer books he’s produced. Like the others, it is written in plain English, it’s readable, at times mildly entertaining, plus comprehensive and marginally useful to the novice user.

iPhone 4 The Missing Manual Fourth Edition
Review
Pogue’s iPhone The Missing Manual Fourth edition will answer virtually every question most users will have about the iPhone, thus eliminating both the known unknowns (how do I set up my email) as well as the unknown ones (I didn’t even know the iPhone had voice control for dialing and iPod!).

Missing Manual vs. My New Mac
Recommending a good book for newcomers to the Mac platform is always tricky. You want to recommend something that doesn’t just cover all the basics but also has some depth as well. A book that only covers the simplest aspects of the Mac interface like how to copy files or connect to the Internet will quickly become obsolete as the user’s skills increase. So the best sort of beginner’s book is one that doesn’t just cover the interface and the operating system but also explains how to use the supplied programs to complete a variety of different projects.
