Customer Reviews
Not as useful as I had hoped
I have the paper version of this book. This book is written in the style of leading you along step by step, as you try it. And quite frankly, who has time to do that with a 500+ page book? Not designed to just look things up, or just read quickly to learn a lot fast.
PROS: lots of screenshots, thick enough that it should have everything. CONS: most things AREN'T in the index. And when they were, I was surprised at how often the page felt irrelevant or incomplete to what I was trying to do. Don't look to this book as a deep, detailed resource. It's just not.
iBooks are too expensive
I love Apple, I really do. However, this is getting ridiculous. I can purchase this book from a popular online bookstore for nearly 1/2 the price if this e-book from Apple!!
I will have a tangible object that I can share with others, never need to charge it or worry about accidentally deleting it.
The physical book costs more to print, distribute and physically ship...and yet soooo much cheaper... Interesting, to say the least.
Apple, I know Steve is gone, you will need to appoint someone soon to help pull your head out of your bottom.
Charging more for a better product is one thing. Charging insane amounts for the exact same information that everyone else has? WOW!
