Mac OS X Leopard: Beyond the Manual is written for the sophisticated computer user who would find an introductory manual tedious. Features new to Leopard are emphasized, as are complex features that, though available in earlier versions of OS X, were not readily accessible. The narrative is fast-paced, concise, and respectful of the reader's familiarity with earlier versions of the program.
