I'm thinking about buying "Mac OS X : The Missing Manual, Tiger Ed". Any other switchers out there have recommendations on a good "getting-started" book? I'm looking for a bit of a walk-thru and then something to use as a reference down the line.

I read your thread title and thought to myself, "Goodness gracious, search!" Haha I was so relieved to see that you have gleaned some information somewhere... there should also be a slight variation of the book you mentioned that is specifically targeted at switchers. Overall, David P's 'Missing Manual' series is what is readily recommended here on MR. I personally haven't read any of them, but am considering getting the Tiger edition because, well, because extra info never killed anyone, right? :p

I know better than to post without searching! Even you very nice and relaxed Mac people can be driven over the edge :)

From what I've read that seems to be the book/series of choice, but I was just curious if other switchers had actually used and enjoyed anything else. I'll probably end up buying a couple of books for completness' sake.
