iPod the Missing manual
This Guest Review by Daniel Chapman.
This book covers lots of obvious things that I had managed to work out how to do long before seeing the book. If you already have an iPod then you will not need this book.
My Rating: 
Pros
- Detailed step by step instructions on how to set up and use an iPod.
Cons
- Lots of references to sizes in inches with no indication of how big that is in real measurements (Schools here stopped teaching about inches long before I was born).
- Uses language a lot of people will not understand such as 'ubiquitous' and svelte' and 'shoots' (which I assume refers to taking pictures).
- Devotes the whole of page 52 to how to turn the iPod on. Anyone with an iPod should already know how to do that.

Review
This book contains lots of detailed instructions on how to do all sorts of things with an iPod. Many of the things it covers are really obvious ones that anyone with an iPod could figure out. In fact it was only because I already knew how to do many of the things the book was describing that I was able to work out what the book was saying. The language in the book was hard to follow at times with words I am not familiar with and unusual ways of saying things not easy to understand.
Between the language and the stupid jokes I felt I was wasting my time reading this book.
