Although I have since switched to Mac OS X (aka OS 10), I actually used this book first. It was an invaluable tool in easing my transition from Windows user to Macintosh user. I would recommend all Mac users switch to OS X as soon as possible since it's a much more stable and reliable version, but if you have an older Macintosh then OS 9 is a fine Operating System.
If you need help learning how to operate your Macintosh with OS 9 (OS = operating system - the graphic user interface that you see when you turn the Mac on) then you can do no better than this book.
If you're completely new to computers you'll find this book immensely helpful as it holds your hand in the first few chapters and explains how to use the GUI (graphic user interface), the mouse, the keyboard and so on.
If you're new to Macs it will also serve as a primer to get you up to speed very quickly on how to use the Macintosh and learn the Mac way of doing things.
If you're someone who knows how to use Macs this book will also help in the later chapters by showing you how to become a 'Power User'. It will help increase your productivity, teach you all the great short-cuts and keyboard combinations and so on.
All the books in the 'Missing Manual' series are very easy to read, with detailed step by step instructions along with a fantastic index for simple cross-reference and nice pictures to further simplify the process of learning.
Be sure to check out 'Mac OS X: The Missing Manual' if you're looking for the best and easiest to read book on Apple's fantastic new Operating System.
Unfortunately I'm limited to two thumbs because otherwise I'd be tempted to give this twenty thumbs way up!
