Pretty good but not great
All of the new Mac Leopard books are lacking in some way or another and this book is no exception. Mac for dummies does cover many topics in great detail but falls short of explaining some of Leopards programs such as iCal. In fact, the only thing I found in the book about iCal is a sentence that says what its for. Nothing else. If this bit is not very important to you, than it is a pretty good user guide. If you are interested in actually learning to use the features of ALL of the software that this operating system comes with (like iCal) than please take a look at Mac OS X Leopard : The Missing Manual. I've been a pretty loyal dummies fan for years and this book was kind of a disapointed.

Leopard Review
I found that the "Dummy" books were very helpful with my old Mac/Office software, and l purchased this book on that basis. So far, it has been most helpful on my iMac/Office 2008 setup, clarifying procedures and capabilities, and helping me in understanding the systems. I recommend it. However, there are some features of Leopard for which you might want to obtain additional, more specific and detailed, instructions.

Mac OS X Leopard All-in-One
I recently purchased a MacBook after using a PC for too long and wanted to get a quick course on what to expect this book helped make the transition easy and also what to expect.

The Mac is really so easy to use that one would think that a book would not be necessary, but having used PC's at work and home for several decades there were a lot of habits that I needed to break and I did not want too many surprises...this book really helped make that transition easy and enjoyable.

I own a couple dozen "Dummy" books and they always provide good information in a short precise manner and are easy to read and understand.
