OS X El Capitan for Dummies

I am glad I purchased this book. It is easy to read, and will make a good reference resource. The pictures and illustrations definitely could be clearer which is the only fault I have. The book is not technical and is limited to the number of pages, but the author states this is as directed by the book company. I bought the OS X El Capitan -The missing manual at the same time. This second book is slightly more technical and spends more time with explanations which positively helps with the Dummies book. I strongly recommend the purchase of both books as learning tools and as reference books which I am sure you will use. With both books and speaking with Apple support learning the operation of an iMac has been easy.

New software to me. I refer to it daily. Doesn't bother me at all to be a Dummy. Good information, great organization in the information.

I was going to order the "Missing Manual" by David Pogue, but I am so glad that it is late in being published. Bob LeVitus OS X El Capitan for Dummies is a wonderful book. His humorous style and his ability to explain technical data for us regular folks is excellent. I almost think I would read the book even if I didn't need it for the information--it is so much fun to read. I have always bought every Missing Manual for every new OS X edition. From now on, I will definitely look for Bob LeVitus' books first. And most importantly, the book was out in a timely manner when I really needed it.

It is comprehensive but I miss the jokes and sense of humor that I have come to expect from "Dummies" books.

My Mom got a new iMac and installed El Capitan on it not long after the purchase. This book was super helpful in getting the basics down as she isn't the most tech savvy person, but it was clear cut and easy to understand. I'm a big fan of the for Dummies series myself, so I always expect well written guides from them.

As one of the dummies, I find this to be useful although a bit cumbersome for me. Others may have different ideas.

I'm new to OS and bought an Imac. Taking my time learning a new ways to use the Mac . This book is easy to follow and walks you though each step. Great for beginners like me. I'm 67 and if I can learn using this book anyone can. Bob LeVitus has a great sense of humor an makes it fun to learn from him.

It soars in the stratosphere, regally and pompously, but fails utterly to communicate simply about how to do ordinary things and necessary things, like insert a DVD. This book is for technicians, not dummies.

Great Book ! Must Buy for New Mac users.

This book is a great guide, i had not used a mac for a while and this book had some great tips and very easy to follow

Love the humour of these manuals. But the details are not lost, and the depth of coverage is very good. I enjoy the advice and explanations, and expect too get very good use of this manual.

Having recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X El Capitan, I have used this book on occasion as a reference to the new platform. As with all Dummies books, it is an excellent reference book.

Item arrived on time and is competitively priced. I have just bought a Mac laptop and I am struggling a bit with the "El Capitain" operating system. I am new to Mac so thought this book should do the trick. It's certainly helping but I'm still getting stuck on one to two things. Not sure if it's the book or me !!
