 iMac for Dummies May 30, 2008
Five weeks have elapsed since I ordered and paid for this book. It has not yet been delivered to me. I have tried to contact Amazon to ask them to either refund my costs (book price & freight) but only received an automated email advising me that I should track it myself. I have purchased several books over the years from both the USA & the UK but I believe that this is the last time that I will bother. This is the second time that books have gone missing and on one occasion I waited several weeks for a delivery from a book that that was supplied by an Amazon agent who was less than impressed when I gave him a poor performance rating. NOT GOOD ENOUGH AMAZON. It looks as though you've lost the personal touch altogether. Russ Railton.

Apple iMac Desktop with 20" Display MA876LL/A (2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, SuperDrive) The book started well enough but as it went on it became a book for people more advanced than me. Alot of things were not covered to the extent that it didn't lead anywhere. also did not have a glossary of terms, and that left me blind to what I was reading. Anyway I use as a go to when I get lost.

Outdated and obsolete. Of little use for my new iMac running on OS-X. Amazon was gracious enough to take the book back and refund my money.
 Very useful but not perfect March 20, 2007

When things do not go according to its instructions it can leave you with nowhere else to go, as when I connected the FireWire, according to its instructions, and the 'continue' button remained grey leaving me at a loss. Still, as I said, very useful.

The book mentions all the things you can do, but most of the time not how to do it.
