 Good, but not real comprehensive November 2, 2008

The book is quite good and easy to read. It would be nice if it were more comprehensive.
 poor iWeb coverage October 6, 2008

I found the coverage of iWeb to be too brief and didn't answer numerous questions I had in this complicated and important feature of iLife.

This book is well-written, easy to read, with lots of effective illustrations. It is a great purchase for someone who wants to be more efficient in using the new version of iLife, especially iPhoto.
Best book to learn & use the iLife apps July 27, 2008

With every version of iLife, I have purchased the corresponding version of The Macintosh iLife book by Jim Heid. While I am a big fan of the Missing Manual books, the Heid books actually show you the controls as well as write about them, and there are very useful tips included on every page. Even after learning an iLife application, this book is very valuable to come back to for details when doing later projects.
The '05 book included a tutorial DVD that was useful, and I believe these are still available for viewing on Jim Heid's website. The '06 and this version do not include a DVD, probably to allow the book to be published sooner, which is OK with me. The book does a better job of instruction than the DVD tutorials, because it can provide more detail.

The Macintosh iLife 08
This is THE book to get to work through the learning of iLife 08. Color phots and written in a manner that helps you through the problem you are working on and does not make you go through a lot of other material to get to your issue. Bought the same book for iLife 06, but there are enough new things in iLife 08 that I like having the new book.
