iPhone: The Missing Manual 75 reviews
David Pogue
Pogue Press, 2007
iPhone - The Unmissable Manual
David Pogue's independant manual for the iPhone is, quite simply, a book you have to read if you have an iPhone - or are thinking of getting one. When you invest in an iPhone, one of the first things you'll notice as you open the box is the absence of a conventional instruction manual - especially after the ever-increasingly thick tomes supplied with Nokia et al. So whereas the iPhone is ...

The Portable Coach: 28 Sure Fire Strategies For Business And Personal Success21 reviews
Thomas J. Leonard, Byron Larson
Scribner, 1998
Thomas Leonard is not for everyone, but...
If you can get through the first chapter on "selfishness," this book really does have a lot to offer. Using charged words like "become incredibly selfish" and absolutes like "tolerate nothing" was an integral part of Leonard's in-your-face, we-don't-have-time-for-you-not-to-get-this style. So many of us in the professional coaching industry have been touched by Leonard. We owe him a big debt ...

Hacking the PSP: Cool Hacks, Mods, and Customizations for the Sony PlayStation Portable (ExtremeTech)20 reviews
Auri Rahimzadeh
Wiley, 2006
Nice reference. Cheap price.
You can find many useful tricks and guides to learn about your PSP.
One of the most useful is to learn how to disassemble it.
There's a battery charger, and other nice stuff you may not be aware of. Some of the chapters fall on useless tips but...whatever...and also...with the fact that homebrew software has been even more restricted with every firmware upgrade, 3 chapters are just now useless. ...

iPhone 3G Portable Genius 10 reviews
Paul McFedries, David Pabian
Wiley, 2008
Finally... A genius to hold your hand
I am a self-confessed Apple lover and part-time geek. Living in the UK, I was one of the first Brits to get by grubby paws on the original iPhone - a mere 3 days after it went on sale in the US. Of course, I had to upgrade it to a 16GB version when that was released, and again when the iPhone 3G came out. In short, I think the iPhone is a mighty fine phone indeed.
As an architecture, the ...

Adobe Acrobat 8 for Windows and Macintosh (Visual QuickStart Guide)3 reviews
John Deubert
Peachpit Press, 2006
As Good As It Gets
My instructor recommended the Quick Start series as the best option, and she is right. I find the Adobe Acrobat 8 Quick Start guide to be every bit as comprehensive as the manufacturer's user guides. If you can hold back and wait for the Illustrator CS3 Quick Start guide, which will not be available until next month, I recommend that you do. I had to buy Real World Illustrator CS3 Industrial ...

Scott Kelby, Terry White
Peachpit Press, 2007
Jump Start Your iPhone
I got this book to help my wife better understand her new iPhone Christmas gift. As she was reading there was a great deal of laughter coming from the room, and I thought I was going to end up setting the phone up. Much to my chagrin she set the phone up and gave me a tutorial on stuff I did not even know it was capable of. Great book to get the most from your iPhone.
