I wrote my first Visual QuickStart Guide for Peachpit Press about Mac OS back in 1998. That book covered Mac OS 8, which was long-awaited and brand spanking new at the time. The book became an instant bestseller, selling out at Macworld Expo in the first day of the show.
I’ve been revising the book regularly since then. Most recently, Peachpit published the Snow Leopard edition of the book. We were proud to be the only book about Snow Leopard in Apple Stores the day Snow Leopard was released.
On this site you can find information about the three most recent editions of my Mac OS Visual QuickStart Guide:
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard: Visual QuickStart Guide
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Visual QuickStart Guide
Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger: Visual QuickStart Guide
Use the above links as starting points for information here about a specific version of Mac OS.

Older Versions of Mac OS
I’ve been writing Visual QuickStart Guides about Mac OS since Mac OS 8 years and years ago. There are at least ten editions of my book out there, most of which are likely collecting dust or being used as doorstops.
The point is, I really can’t provide support for all those old editions of my Mac OS books. If you’re still using Mac OS X 10.3 or earlier and you need help with a problem that’s not covered in my book, it’s probably a good time to check out the Apple Support Web site or attend an Apple Users’ Group meeting. Both of these resources are great for older versions of Mac OS.
But the best thing to do is probably upgrade your computer and/or Mac OS. You won’t believe the cool features you’re missing out on.
