I bought it for the cover and i m glad i did. Inside there is nothing too pertinent. You can simpy download the official manual from mac, i guess that it would be enough.
I love spending time polishing my presentations on keynote and i realized that my basic skills were well above the chapter from this book!
However it was designed from a mac and by a mac user, hence the quality is above what you would expect from an "office-like" book.
A nice buy for someone who would like to add it to his bookshelf collection.
Apple Training Series - iWork '08 November 2, 2008
I selected this book to gain "hands-on" training with iWork '08 and some of the related iLife '08 applications installed on my 17" MacBook Pro notebook. With many years of Microsoft(MS) Windows and Microsoft Office (Windows/Mac) suite experience I was curious to discover how well the iWork '08 suite could integrate multimedia programs.
To date I have been very impressed with enhancing presentation slides by adding iMovie and Garage Band content. There are powerful 3D features in the Keynote application, but some of the slide transitions fall short of MS PowerPoint. The sample video clips and well-documented instructions are tremendous learning aids. Since the book is primarily aimed at entry level training, I am thoroughly satisfied with its teaching methodology.
Unfortunately, I have only covered the first three chapters of the iWork book. I am looking forward to completing the remaining chapters of this very well-written and highly instructive training guide.
 iWork 08 Apple Manual lacking August 2, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Although simple & easy to use, this manual lacks detail. In general it is not close to the books in David Pogue's "The Missing Manual" series. Only he doesn't have one for iWork 08 that I could find. I will not purchase another Apple Training Series book.

Pretty basic. Nothing much to learn from the book. I guess it has been made for the first timers to iwork or mac. I did not find it very useful. it was very average
