Superficial

If you are a beginner and have just graduated from "Mouse Movements and Double Clicking 101", then this book is for you. I was disappointed that a book with "Bible" in it's title could be so superficial. But if you need to read entire pages on how to open and save files, what an alert box is and how to click "OK", then go for it, you will especially enjoy the HUGE pictures of screen shots with the small paragraph of descriptive text on each page.

But if you have any notions of setting up file sharing groups and privileges (without buying OS X Server), you might find the single paragraph on page 357 quite inadequate. Of course, you can do it from the Unix command line, which I wouldn't really expect this book to cover, but you can do it with the GUI interface NetInfo Manager as well. Sorry, you won't even find the word "utilities" in the index of this "Bible."
