Product Author Bios

Scott Kelby is the world’s #1 best-selling author of computer books (for five years running), and is the awardwinning author of The Digital Photography Book (Vols. 1, 2 & 3), The iPhone Book, and The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers, among others. He’s also Publisher of Photoshop User magazine and President of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals.

Are you looking for a book that focuses on just the most important and most useful stuff about your iPod (including the iPod touch, nano, classic, shuffle, and the iTunes Store)? Well, this is it!

There are basically two kinds of iPod books: (1) The “tell-me-all-about-it” kind, which include in-depth discussions on compression algorithms and tutorials on how to export your playlist in Unicode format. (2) Then there’s this book—a “show-me-how-to-do-it” book. Scott shows you step by step how to do the things people really want to learn about their iPods, and he uses the same casual, conversational style that has made him the world’s #1 best-selling technology author. This book focuses on just the most important, most requested, most useful things so you can start having fun with your iPod today. Right now!

Plus, there’s only one topic per page, so if you want to know how to do something, you turn to that page and it shows you how to do just that one thing. It's a simple approach, and people really love learning this way!

The book Finally arrived. Could not find the help I was looking for. Book was in fine shape. How does one keep the current page when turning off I Pod overnight? Mine seems to loose place.

This review is from: The iPod Book: How to Do Just the Useful and Fun Stuff with Your iPod and iTunes (6th Edition) (Paperback)
I bought this book thinking it would be what the title says but it wasn't because it didn't address the questions I had. It was also the wrong book because I didn't have any of the apple ipods featured in the book I will say this though, it is a beautiful book but not much fun! So I returned it to get the Missing
Manual instead.

This book is typical Scott....fast paced, funny, clear, and explanatory. Kelby makes "how to" fun, which ain't easy....
