[X4U] Best OSX beginners book?

[Jim Colgate]

Although definitely not comprehensive, I have found the "Visual",
"Simplified", and "Illustrated" books the best for beginners if you can find
them. I got "maran Illustrated Mac OS X v.10.4 Tiger" for my 80 year old
Father and he found it useful for understanding the specific tasks he wanted
to do. Now if one of those publishers would just produce one for Office 2004
we would be set.
