| There are many
great books on the market that help lead people through these complex
computer creatures. There are so many books that it can be hard
to know which are the best. Below is a list of some of the best
books on the market. |

Panther
Edition.
Robin Williams has been writing about the Mac for a good many
years. She has now released a Panther version of her Mac OS
X Book and it is a very detailed, helpful manual that every
Mac user will find useful. Don't let the size of this book
scare you, it is just very clearly detailed. Robin covers not
just the basics of using a Mac under Mac OS X--printing, sending
e-mail, exchanging files, surfing the Internet--but all of
the important new and improved features as well: working with
Panther's all-new Finder, using Expose to work with windows,
Safari and more. |

A
Smaller Book. Don't want the highly detailed information
included in the Robin Williams OS X Book? Grab a copy of the
Little Mac Book. The Little Mac Book contains much of the information
included in the larger OS X Book above, but in a much more
concise manner. Definitely not as detailed, many still find
it very useful and a bunch more help than no book at all. It
is also easier to carry (wink). I have recommended this book
to many clients and all have found it educational.

| .Mac How-To. I
am frequently asked "What is .Mac?" Yes, .Mac is a bit
hard to explain, but only because it can do so much. We've got
virus
protection,
backup software, email addresses, calendar publishing and tons
tons more. This book will help outline much of the power built
into .Mac and will help you make better use of Apple's wonderful
suite of internet tools. I use many .Mac tools each
and every
day and couldn't live without these tools anymore. My life is easier,
better protected and enhanced because of this $99 per year service. |

| Book and
DVD! This book has been getting some really great press
lately. Along with a completely up-to-date book on iLife '04,
(Apple's suite of multimedia applications) this book comes with
a DVD that includes 2 hours of detailed instructional information!
The book and DVD include info on all of Apple's iLife programs:
iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD and Garageband. The DVD is a great
addition. With the DVD you can watch, pause and then go try out
the techniques! |

Learn TONS
of photo editing tricks! I really like this book because
of its step by step take on many different photo editing tricks.
Removing powerlines, getting better outside shots, changing colors,
removing glares on glasses, etc.
One word of caution. Although this book is a great second step
to managing your photos and extending your knowledge of Photoshop
Elements, don't get this book if you are a complete novice. The
Art of Digital Photography makes the
assumption
you know about selecting items, using layers, etc. If you need
to start from the VERY beginning, see Photoshop
Elements: Zero to Hero then step up to The Art of
Digital Photography. Both are great books. |
