Synopsis
The joke here, of course, is this is not a "little" book. Rather, it is a fairly complete volume of knowledge for anyone wanting to know how to operate their Macintosh computer, especially anyone wanting to know tips and tricks for navigating the brand-spanking-new System 7.5.1

Review
A classic returns, this time updated to include Mac OS 8.6, the iMac, and more Internet material. The Little Mac Book will fit your needs extraordinarily well if you've chosen to get into personal computing by way of a Macintosh computer and want a friendly and thorough guide.
Robin Williams--no, not the comic actor--assumes her readers have no computer experience at all. She provides explanations of all the essentials as well as the perennial stumper for all Mac novices--how to get the floppy disk out of its drive! She also explains why hooking Macs together in a network is easier than you might think and shows how to use Sherlock to extract the information you need from the Internet. Since she focuses on Mac OS 8.6 in general, her approach is suitable for users of all Macs who use that system, including the iMac and iBook. Throughout, her love for the Mac and its community of users is obvious.
A lot of effort has gone into this book's design too--there are few slapped-in screen shots and lots of carefully trimmed and laid-out illustrations. Not enough publishers put this kind of care into their books' production. As a result of the collaboration between Williams and her publisher, The Little Mac Book is a joy to look at, hold, read, and use. --David Wall
Topics covered: The Mac OS 8.6 system; the mouse, the keyboard, file management, Mac text editing, and Internet tips.
From the Back Cover
Now a worldwide bestseller (over 350,000 in print in eight languages), The Little Mac Book covers the basics of operating a Mac. It explains how to use the mouse and menus; what windows, files, fonts, folders, and icons are; and much, much more. This edition adds a wealth of new information as well as a gaggle of cartoons and illustrations by the ever-amusing John Grimes. Includes a tutorial for new users.
