Title: Sams Teach Yourself the iMac in 24 Hours-Fourth Edition By Gene Steinberg Publisher: SAMS Publishing ISBN: 0-672-32420-2 Pages: 485 Price: $24.99 Media: Paperback Book Level: Beginner Overall rating: Quite good for new users of iMac and OSX

This book provides 24 one-hour lessons on how to set up and run the iMac. It uses a straight forward, step-by-step approach that is easy to follow. It allows the reader to learn the essentials of working with the iMac and Mac OSX from the ground up. It also includes explanations of how to do the same operations in OS9. At the end of each chapter are Q&As, quizzes, and exercises to help the user test his/her knowledge. There are notes and tips that point out shortcuts and solutions. However, since the book was published two years ago it does not include any of the features of Jaguar or Panther. This would be a helpful book for a new user but it would be more useful if it were updated to include the new features of 10.3.
