Trying to read the PDF with Preview on Mac OS X is almost impossible. In particular, the code examples come out severely messed up bold.
It's incredibly distracting and unfortunately, as O'Reilly does suggest, viewing the PDF with Adobe Reader works fine.
SO yes, before you buy this as a PDF, understand you're going to need to view with Adobe Reader...............

Hello Anonymous,
We worked hard to make our PDFs work with Preview, but since Apple does not support PDF standards, it was a no-win situation for us and, as you note, we list Acrobat as the preferred reader.
Thanks for taking the time to write to us.
