Del Recommends - Books

This is absolutely the best instruction book I have ever read. It really is just the most basic "How to use a Mac" book. It explains it all. The title should be quite different. Instead of the title:

Teach Yourself Visually Mac OS X Snow Leopard

It should be titled: Teach Yourself Visually How to Use a Mac
