Customer Reviews

Best iPhone book yet
Having been in the IT field as a trainer for over 20 years, I seldom pick up a Dummies book. But after reading two other books, Kelby and Progue, and then this one, I can honestly say that this is the one to get, if you get only one iPhone book. The warnings are a unique and especially useful addition, and the photos are gorgeous.

Wow! How do they figure all this out?
It's amazing that the authors can know all this complex stuff and yet present it in such an easy-to-follow format.
I really didn't expect to learn anything new about my iPhone when I got the book from a friend. Wow! Was I ever wrong. Every tip works flawlessly. I would recommend this to every iPhone owner. Going even further, I think Apple and AT & T should include it with every purchase.

It was love at first sight!
I got this book today and have not been able to put it down.
I thought that I knew a lot about my iPhone but this book has given me even more detail that can only enhance my already delightful experience with my iPhone. Edward anb Bob have done a top-rate job of providing easy to understand content. The illustrations are perfectly complementary to the text. Page Layouts are extemely well thought out and executed.Font selection makes this book both easy to read and a feast for the eye. Cartoons by Rich Tennant are hillarious. And now you know why I fell in love with this wonderful book. Go no further. Put it in your cart. You will not regret the decision...ever.
