Peachpit announces new Leopard books

Posted by Dennis Sellers Oct 31, 2007 at 7:08am

Peachpit has announced the launch of new titles covering Mac OS X 10.5 (“Leopard”). The first two books to be available are:

° Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Visual QuickStart Guide by Maria Langer. It’s an US$24.99 visual guide to Leopard’s capabilities.

° Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Peachpit Learning Series by Robin Williams. This is a $29.99 training book for getting started with Leopard and capitalizing on all the new features. This book allows readers to learn in their own way—whether it’s working through the lessons start to finish, jumping straight to step-by-step exercises about new features, or looking up just what they need to know at that moment.

The following books and ebooks will be available soon:

° The Little Mac Book, Leopard Edition by Robin Williams, a $17.99 book that adopts a “back-to-basics” approach to introduce users to Leopard. In a gentle, friendly style, this Mac community classic shows readers how to dive in and start working with the Mac and OS X Leopard.

° Automator for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Visual QuickStart Guide by Ben Waldie. It’s an $29.99 combination of task-based instruction and visuals to teach intermediate Mac users how to automate repetitive, time-consuming tasks with the Automator application included with Leopard.

For Leopard users who can’t wait for the printed book, Automator for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard will be available as a “rough cut” through Safari Books Online beginning Nov. 2. While the book is in progress, users can choose to purchase electronic access with unlimited viewing and PDF downloads of each revision, pre-purchase the print book—or electronic access immediately and the print book later. Free trials of Safari Books Online are available now..
