The iBook is just great
The first time I worked
on an iBook, I was impressed. From the cool look
to refined, speedy keyboard and great
performance, I knew this was the laptop computer
for "the rest of us."
But I wrote "Sams Teach
Yourself the iBook in 24 Hours" not just for the
iBook user. It also has full coverage of
Macintosh basics, including Mac OS 9, and the
Internet. Anyone who is new to the Mac platform
or wishes to refine their computing techniques

"The most interesting

safely hook your computer to phone ports in
hotels and public facilities ..... They also
give a fine overview of the accessories
available for spiffing up your streamlined
companion." --David Wall

iBook anatomy, Mac OS 8.6 and standard software,

connectivity at home and on the road.

virtues of mobile computing and familiarize

Little Mac Book, The Little iMac Book, The
Non-Designer's Design Book, and many other
titles? Williams and co-author John Tollett show
readers how to navigate the ins and outs of
computing at home and on the road.
Robin and John are on
the go all the time themselves, they know what
people need to know to get the most out of their
iBooks. This slim volume is handy and portable,
like the iBook itself, and is written for all
levels of users, beginnerish to advanced, who
have mastered the basics of navigating the

computing, read The Little Mac Book first.

The

Dummies,
by David Pogue
Read
our Book
Review of "The iBook For Dummies"
"The iBook for Dummies
is like having a good friend over your shoulder,
offering friendly advice while leading you to
the promised land of simple computing. Author
David Pogue's breezy humor and attention to
detail make this an indispensable guide to
Apple's candy-colored portables."
"Though his jokes can be
a bit hokey at times (Top ten similarities
between you and your iBook), his casual tone
will lighten up your first iBook experience. And
if, like many iBook customers, you're a
first-time computer user, iBook for Dummies is
required reading." --John Frederick Moore
The author, David
Pogue , December 17, 1999
The Best iBook Book I've
Ever Written!
From the author of the
#1-selling "The iMac for Dummies"--that would be
me--comes the inevitable sister book--one that
lovingly and hilariously covers Apple's
blockbuster, translucent laptop, the iBook. I'll
guide you from turning the thing on, you all the
way onto the Internet and beyond. Special
chapters cover getting the most out of the
iBook's battery, connecting to the Internet from
the road, using USB add-ons, using the built-in
programs like Quicken, Palm Desktop, and
AppleWorks, and more.
This is the only iBook
book, by the way, that was written AFTER Apple
shipped the AirPort wireless-Internet card. So
it's the only iBook book with a step-by-step
tutorial in setting up the AirPort base
station--and then surfing the Internet from your
TV couch!

The
Ultimate iBook
Book
,
by Dan Parks
Sydow
Read our Book Review
of "The Ultimate iBook Book"
Book Description
Appropriate for both
computing novices and more experienced notebook
users, this book covers both the iBook computer
and the Macintosh operating system. It describes
how the iBook and the Internet can be used to
send E-mail, visit business and game Web sites,
download software, and backup work. Intermediate
users will find valuable information on AirPort
wireless local area network (LAN) technology,
networking an iBook to other iBooks and other
Macintosh computers, traveling with an iBook,
connecting USB and non-USB peripherals, and
creating a personal Web page.
From the Publisher
The "i" in "iBook"
stands for "Internet," but it could just as well
stand for "innovation." The iBook is *the*
consumer portable computer to get. But once you
have one, what do you *do* with it? Let Dan
Parks Sydow show you how to gain a complete
understanding of the iBook computer -- as he did
for the iMac computer in "The Ultimate iMac
Book". In "The Ultimate iBook Book" you'll find
plenty of information about getting started
with, and getting the most from, the Macintosh
operating system (including both Mac OS 8.6 and
Mac OS 9), where and how to get inexpensive or
free Mac software, how to maintain and upgrade
your iBook, how to transfer files from the iBook
to other Macs or to the Internet, and how to use
your iBook to take full advantage of the power
of the Internet and the World Wide Web.
From the Author
When the iMac came out,
I wanted to write a book that would help
beginner and intermediate Mac users alike get
the most out of their new, innovative machine --
so I wrote "The Ultimate iMac Book." Now, for
iBook users, I've written the follow-up title
"The Ultimate iBook Book." For all those people
who e-mail me questions about connecting to the
Internet, connecting your iBook to other Macs,
transferring files without a floppy drive, and
more -- this book is for you!
