MacBook For Dummies (For Dummies: Learning Made Easy)

I love the “Dummy” series. They are clear and answer questions that most beginners have. With no idea of the topic they make it easy to understand.

The book is very informative, though not the latest. I bought the book thinking that it was the latest edition, but it still serves my purpose as I have an older MacBook and the information was on point.

The intent of this book is well placed, but the reality falls far short of being a useful guide. I understand it is written for dummies, but I feel like I am the dumbest of dummies for trying to follow this manual. First, it is published on a low quality newsprint, thereby making much of the text difficult to read, as there is little contrast between the ink and pages. This is especially a problem when trying to read the computer screen shots, which are of course in black and white. Therefore, the legibility is very compromised. I have also concluded that black and white manuals, which include photos of vibrantly colored computer screens, are basically useless. How dumb do you like to feel? I will be returning this book to Amazon.

The authors write clear, easy to follow instructions as they did in their previous versions of this book. Appropriate for those new to Photoshop Elements as well as those of us upgrading to the new version.However, I was disappointed with the delivery. The person placing the book in the mailing envelope was careless causing a large crease in the front cover and several pages.
