About the Author

Tony Bove is crazy about iPods, iPhones, and iTunes: He not only provides free tips on his Web site (www.tonybove.com), but also took the plunge to develop an iPhone application (Tony's Tips for iPhone Users). Tony has written more than two dozen books on computing, desktop publishing, and multimedia, including iLife '04 All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies (Wiley), The GarageBand Book (Wiley), The Art of Desktop Publishing (Bantam), and a series of books about Macromedia Director, Adobe Illustrator, and PageMaker. Tony also founded Desktop Publishing/Publish magazine and the Inside Report on New Media newsletter, and he wrote the weekly Macintosh column for Computer Currents for a decade. Tracing the personal computer revolution back to the 1960s counterculture, Tony produced a CD-ROM interactive documentary in 1996, Haight-Ashbury in the Sixties (featuring music from the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, and Jefferson Airplane). He also developed the Rockument music site, www.rockument.com, with commentary and podcasts focused on rock music history. As a founding member of the Flying Other Brothers (www.flyingotherbros.com), which toured professionally and released three commercial CDs (52-Week High, San Francisco Sounds, and Estimated Charges), Tony performed with Hall of Fame rock musicians. Tony has also worked as a director of enterprise marketing for leading-edge software companies, and as a communications director and technical publications manager.
