Rating: It's difficult for me to judge this book because I was bowled over by the clarity, style and organization of the first edition. In any case the 2nd editon was a serious disappointment to me after having read (and thoroughly enjoyed) the first edition... the book COULD have been much more appealing and interesting for the reader of the first edition if it had been organized it differently; for example, a special section for the differences between os 10.15 and os 10.2....these differences were too embedded in the content to be of any real use to me and THAT's the reason i bought the book! My suggestion was and still is: make a special edtion for the 2nd time reader (this is the same suggestion i made to mr. pogue in an email!)... with the differences, improvements and disappointments in OS 10.2 (and there are enough, believe me!) My conclusion: would i have bought it now (after having read 3/4 of the book): NO! mr. pogues articles about os 10.2 in macuser UK (special edition) were much more informative and interesting than this book!
