In addition to this text i went further to find online practice exams and Professor Messer videos on Youtube as free self studying material. The book covered the objectives and even went beyond which is why this makes a great on-the-job reference."
"Most importantly, I was looking for a book that could not only keep me engaged yet also provide the necessary educational materials. Presently I'm over a hundred or so pages in (the book is Bible thick) and have purposely slowed myself down at times to ensure lesson absorption but honestly could read this book like it was a spellbinding work of fanciful fiction. It really helps to have an actual, honest interest in the subject matter and there are times where you'll want access to several different operating systems."
"the author does not drift off to complicated things when starting to learn the basics."
"While this was required material for my IT class, the writing is easy to follow and the information is clear."
"It is packed with everything I need to know for passing the CompTIA A+ exam, and as a matter fact I almost gave it four stars because it is so packed it is too heavy to hold up when I’m laying down reading it!"
"Great book when it comes to questions in each."
"Just started, but it has been an easy to follow book so far."
"Nice book for those people who like to learn as they go."

"The definitive wine book, although MacNeil's writing can be a bit unhelpful at times ("you don't drink this wine, the wine drinks you"."
"Well written book on wine without being pedantic."
"Reads like a digest."
"The Wine Bible has lots of wonderful information about wines."
"My only reservation is about hoe outdated some of the statistics might be."
"I have my copy highlighted and full of sticky notes."
"Aside from the serious stuff about grapes and winemaking, etc,, it also has nice little tid-bits like explaining why waiters in restaurants give you the cork to inspect when they open your wine (Her explanation makes perfect sense, but I'd never heard it before)."

"Bought this and read through it before getting my New MacBook, it made the MacBook a lot easier to navigate."
"Just what I needed since I am a microsoft user for 20+ years."
"I bought this after buying my Mac Book Pro."
"So far this is everything that the MacBook Dummies book is not: the pages are glossy, there are lots of color diagrams and photos, and it is specific to the MacBook Pro, so there isn't lots of extraneous information to deal with. For someone like me, The Teach Yourself Visually MacBook Pro book is ideal, and purchasing this MacBook for Dummies book was a mistake."
"Bought this for my hubby who just got a Mac."
"This book is easy to read and follow but most of the info is not very usable as I still had to go to the Apple store for assistance."
