The Missing Manual Series

Missing Manuals are witty, superbly written guides to computer products that don’t come with printed manuals (which is just about all of them). Each book features a handcrafted index; cross-references to specific page numbers (not just see Chapter 14); and an ironclad promise never to put an apostrophe in the possessive pronoun its.
