This guidebook from David Pogue's immensely popular Missing Manual series offers a wealth of detail on Snow Leopard, the new Mac OS X operating system. You get crystal-clear, jargon-free introductions to the Dock, the Mac OS X folder structure, the Mail application and more.

Easy guidance from an expert

The most authoritative book for Mac users of all technical levels and experience, this Missing Manual is amusing and fun to read, but Pogue doesn't take his subject lightly. He answers: Which features work well and which don't? What should you look for? What should you avoid?

• The Dock, the Mac OS X folder structure, and Mail—all faster and with new Snow Leopard-only features
• iLife apps such as iMovie, iDVD and iPhoto—each with its own mini-manual
• Safari 4, the latest and best-performing Mac web browser
• QuickTime X, the new multimedia player that lets you trim and share clips to YouTube, MobileMe and iTunes
