The Ultimate Mac User Book

“If you buy one Mac book, get one of mine. If you buy any more, get Setapp’s The Ultimate Mac User Book.” - Brett Terpstra, Mac coder, author, developer & consultant “Setapp’s new book brings to mind famous Mac titles of the 1980s like “The Macintosh Bible” or “The Little Mac Book”. It’s aimed at newcomers yet it’s also full of useful tips for even longtime users like me. Chief author Tetiana Hanchar has a style that’s deliberately simple and clear, but also manages to make for an enjoyable, absorbing read. There are many references to Setapp, but “The Ultimate Mac User Book” is written to help and entertain everyone, not to be some catalogue for Setapp subscribers.” - William Gallagher, Writer, AppleInsider "I've leafed through it enough to confirm that every Mac user in my life needs to read this, and even I can learn a thing or two from it. Macs are hard!" - Jon Mitchell, Inside Apple "If you know of a new(ish) user of a Mac, this would make a great gift to help them navigate the ins and outs of their new computer. And even if you're an old hand, at only $10 for the Kindle version, it's not a bad thing to have on hand as reference material." - Shawn King, the Host of Your Mac Life and a podcaster with 25+ experience. “I have reviewed a fair number of Mac User Manuals but “The Ultimate Mac User Book” is superb in a unique fashion. This book will keep pace along with the growth of your blossoming Mac knowledge. I am an intermediate user but the section on retrieving lost files especially interests me. I have several bare drives on my desk and I’m hoping to find some photos and video of my daughter as an infant. By all means, get a copy.” - Frank Petrie, Consultant, Writer Master a Mac without jargon and complications. Once you go Mac, you never go back.
