Nothin' but sidebars! The hottest collection of cool tips and hidden secrets for the pro who needs results FAST! Not another newbie book. OS X Killer Tips speaks directly to the daily Mac user who needs to get the most out of their Mac NOW. Other such books tend toward fluffiness, where Killer Tips is all business.
Time is money and a lot of experienced users find themselves trying to save time by skimming through larger computer books in order to pull out the useful nuggets of info that are often placed within what we call sidebars (i.e. those Note/Tip/Warning boxes). The Killer Tips series was developed by Scott Kelby because he recognized how useful non-beginning technology users find those cool "I didn't know THAT" sidebars that are peppered all over the other computer books out there. This book is all about speed; showing the Mac professional how to get more work done faster, while actually increasing quality.

A typical tip is about 200 words in length--about as long as this capsule review--and gets straight to the point about some detail of Mac OS X (some tips document features that are less well known than others). Sometimes, the fact being revealed is nothing more than a keyboard shortcut (such as the one for putting a machine to sleep quickly). Other tips cover more involved procedures (the one for bringing back the Trash can--missing by default from the Mac OS X desktop--is an example). Scott Kelby knows his Mac--he edits a Mac magazine--and though there could be more about the Unix side of things, you're sure to learn a new trick from the several hundred nuggets of knowledge he's packed into this book. --David Wall
Topics covered: How to get the most out of Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther). Tips explain little-known features of iLife, iTunes, Sherlock, and the Mac OS X core software.
Scott Kelby is co-founder and editor-in-chief of Mac Design Magazine, editor of Photoshop User magazine, and president of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP). His eight best-selling books include Macintosh: The Naked Truth, The Mac OS X Conversion Kit: 9 to 10 Side by Side, and Mac OS X Killer Tips, Jaguar edition.
