(That's three books for sale; there's another - the Sampler - that's free, and a big chunk of the Time Machine book is also free.

The 33 Things Series... Are there really 33 Things in these books?

No, but I love alliteration, and market research says that numbers in titles attract readers, so I cheated—in your favor, that is. I rolled items together where they combined nicely, and used decimals for smaller items to squeeze in more info. And then threw in a few bonus items!

The Minifestos Series... What's a minifesto?

A small manifesto, of course! A Minifesto takes one aspect of an application or the Mac OS and explores it thoroughly. Not every-last-completely-minor detail thoroughly, but with a perfect blend of breadth (a little of everything) and depth (a lot of some things) so you can totally master your computer experience—one thing at a time.

The ebook approach

Optimized for onscreen reading - and for onscreen manipulation: links for jumping around, bookmarks for a more staid approach. Lots of color, lots of info, just what you need, even if you weren't aware of it.

The expert

Sharon Zardetto, aka Sharon Zardetto Aker (several other aka's, but that's the only one relevant here), long-time Mac user and author - since 1984, the year the Mac was born! The Macintosh Bible is among the older items on her resumé. Take Control of Fonts in Leopard, and Take Control: The Mac OS X Lexicon, co-authored with her friend and co-expert Andy Baird, are among the newest.
