Great in Layman's terms 
I just bought a new iMAC and had zero experience with Tiger or Apple software. Highly recommended. I like the way the author keeps your interest with sometimes dull materiel. Hard to put it down. .
10.4 for dummies 
I have been a mac user for 15 years and am currently using system 9. I am disapppointed in this book.2. I just purchased a new computer with system 10. 4 and eagerly awaited opening the book.
I agree with many of the other comments that the book rambles. He also discusses topics without explaining it (such as home). I could not find a definition of it and it was not in the index. He used the word sidebars without explaining what they were or how to manipulate the folders within them.
I found that I could not read more than a few pages and had to put it down. I was simply bored and was not getting that much useful info.
It seems to be more worthwhile to just play around with the computer and try things.
I enjoy authors who write with levity and can clearly explain the topic. I did not think his explanations of topics were succinct. I am on chapter 5 and cannot get myself to keep reading.
Mac OS X Tiger for Dummies 
It clarifies things that are virtually impossible to understand in the books that give such lengthy and technical advice. I have always found the "Dummies" books to be very helpful and this one is no exception.
