Product Description
For a company that promised to "put a pause on new features," Apple sure has been busy-there's barely a feature left untouched in Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard." There's more speed, more polish, more refinement-but still no manual. Fortunately, David Pogue is back, with the humor and expertise that have made this the #1 bestselling Mac book for eight years straight. You get all the answers with jargon-free introductions to: - Big-ticket changes. A 64-bit overhaul. Faster everything. A rewritten Finder. Microsoft Exchange compatibility. All-new QuickTime Player. If Apple wrote it, this book covers it.
- Snow Leopard Spots. This book demystifies the hundreds of smaller enhancements, too, in all 50 programs that come with the Mac: Safari, Mail, iChat, Preview, Time Machine.
- Shortcuts. This must be the tippiest, trickiest Mac book ever written. Undocumented surprises await on every page.
- Power usage. Security, networking, build-your-own Services, file sharing with Windows, even Mac OS X's Unix chassis-this one witty, expert guide makes it all crystal clear.

 Great service as always August 30, 2010
R. Huie (SF, CA)
First book arrived early, but was not in good condition because the binding was damaged. Notified the seller and they shipped me a replacement that arrived two days later in the condition as advertised. Great service!!!
 Pogue a winner August 30, 2010
Barry J. Miller (Philadelphia)
The book is helpful for the beginner as well as the more in formed user. I wish this book included chapters on the ilife software rather than going to the website.
Absolute must for new iMac owners August 23, 2010
Nebraska Fitter (Lincoln, NE USA)
Just recently moved over to Apple with an iMac. Needed more information that what comes with product and this book provides everything I need to know. Love the book and iMac.
 Manual Missing Any iWeb Info August 16, 2010
Tom Reid (Gilbert, AZ United States)
I purchased this in hopes of learning some inside info on creating a website using iWeb from Snow Leopard. Nothing in the Index and nothing in the Table of Contents. Lot of other detail about the OS. A loser for me!
 Love the paper version; hate the Kindle version on my Mac August 13, 2010

I've owned the Missing Manual for every version of Mac systems that has been issued. As a long-time Mac user I find the manuals to be valuable beyond words.
I recently purchased the Kindle version of Snow Leopard Missing Manual and tried using it on my Mac with the software "Kindle for Mac". I wish I had not. There's no index, and no way to search for subjects. The table of contents is huge and difficult to use.
The Missing Manuals aren't books that I read for fun; I use them to look up information on specific subjects and I can't do that with the Kindle edition on my Mac. I suppose that is the fault of the software of Kindle for Mac.
Let's hope that Amazon will improve the software of Kindle for Mac to include search features.
