Berkeley, CA — Peachpit announced the launch of new titles designed to enable readers to get the most out of the powerful features of Leopard, Apple’s latest Mac operating system upgrade. The new books are aimed at all levels of users and cover all that’s new in the OS, including Time Machine, Spaces, and Quick Look.
The first two books available are:
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Visual QuickStart Guide by Maria Langer, the visual guide to Leopard’s groundbreaking capabilities. With hundreds of screenshots to clearly illustrate step-by-step techniques, this guide is a great reference to the essentials of Mac OS X Leopard, including new and revamped applications.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Peachpit Learning Series by Robin Williams, an essential 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 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 uses a combination of task-based instruction and strong visuals to teach intermediate Mac users how to automate repetitive, time-consuming tasks with the Automator application that is included with Mac OS X 10.5 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 November 2, 2007. 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 get the best of both worlds—electronic access immediately and the print book later. Free trials of Safari Books Online are available now.
