There’s too much here to absorb. I don’t want my brain as stuffed as my hard drive so I’ll use it as a reference book. Is it a good reference book? Based on what I’ve actually used, I’d say it’s an excellent reference book.This review will probably focus more on David Pogue than on his book because it’s his background and knowledge that will signal the worth of his information. His credentials are impressive. He is the author of 120 titles in the Missing Manual series and seven books for the Dummies series. He reportedly has over 3 million books in print. In addition to his work on computer knowledge he has also written about magic, digital photography, opera, and classical music. As a sort of compendium of his knowledge, he has also authored a manual, “National Geographic’s The Science of Everything.” He obviously has some chops.He’s not a one-trick pony. He was also a technology columnist for “The New York Times” for 13 years. He is a monthly columnist for Scientific American and host of science shows on NOVA. He’s been a correspondent “CBS Sunday Morning since 2002. His latest venture is Yahoo Tech, a consumer-technology Web site where he promises that everything he publishes will be “funny, authoritative, and helpful.” I’ve looked at the site (it’s massive) but haven’t had the time to really study it because of looking through the equally massive “Switching to the Mac.”So I’m going out on a limb here. I’m going to use Pogue’s impressive background to evaluate what I’ve already read in the book and seen in other reviews to 5-star rate the book without equivocation. My Apple tech rep is great but Apple’s user information is too spread out for easy reference. Switching to a Mac? Get this book.Schuyler T WallaceAuthor of TIN LIZARD TALES ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Could Do Without The Snarkiness *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2019* The author is obviously very experienced and knowledgeable, but should acknowledge that not everyone who reads this book is switching to the Mac "digital lifestyle," as Apple calls it. Many of us, yours truly included, still have a PC (or, in my case, a couple dozen of them) and are simply adding a Mac (or, in my case, a number of them) to our arsenal.I am not a Windows fanboy, nor am I an Apple fanboy. Each has its strengths and I have no plan to discontinue using either. As such, I would have enjoyed the book more if the author had kept the Microsoft bashing to himself. The barbs got tiring and distracted from what otherwise is an effective book.Disclosure: I owned a computer business for many years, starting in the mid-'80s, so I'm not a newbie. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Missing Manual Book - Switching to the Mac *by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2014* Software and computer companies no longer give you any information except for setup anymore in their packaging. One can download manuals on your devices (tablets, phones, etc.), but I am a person that likes to highlight sections and instructions to refer back to later as there is much to learn when obtaining a new gadget. I do not just want to learn what is necessary to do only basic functions and always want to acquire an in-depth book to get to the meat of the gadget. This manual is set up in an easy way to explore some of these things. I used to use Que Publishing books, but they seem to have disappeared and this is a good substitute for those manuals. I purchased "Office 2011 for Macintosh" missing manual book also and love them both. Highly recommend. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/1273911-switching-to-the-mac-the-missing-manual-mavericks-edition](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/1273911-switching-to-the-mac-the-missing-manual-mavericks-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
