    Hi All,

    I'm a brand spankin' new Mac convert. I read through the Mac Switcher's thread and saw lots of guides listed. I'd much rather have a tangible book though.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on books for beginners that will teach me how to take advantage of everything a Mac has to offer?

    Maybe Macs for Dummies or something like that?

    The Missing Manual by David Pogue is decent. It's $25 (brick and mortar price at Borders), marked down from $35 and I found it to be detailed enough and well organized.
