Here are excerpts from reviews of Tiger edition of Help Line:

• "There are plenty of reference manuals for Mac OS X, but none of them come close to Mac OS X Help Line, Tiger Edition. I highly recommend this book. It's an indispensable guide. Rating: 5 out of 5." -- www.thinkmac.net
  
  
• "Best Mac book ever. The topics covered are almost endless, with everybody from novices to seasoned pros benefitting immensely from Ted's expertise. This book should be included with every Mac as standard issue from Apple." -- S. Klesker, www.amazon.com
  
  
• "It covers just about any issue you could come across in depth but concisely. This book will be very helpful for everyone...I can't think of a single shortcoming with this book. This book is worth every penny." -- M. A. Filippelli, www.amazon.com
  
  
• "Every Mac owner should have a copy of this book - it is a must! I can't think of any book that comes close to this book. It truly is in a league of its own." -- Steven Ross, www.amazon.com

• "I raved about the Panther version and this edition is equally good, if not better....[it's] still one of the premiere OS X help books around...the perfect balance between being too geeky and not being advanced enough. This book will benefit any OS X user who wants a thorough reference book. MyMac rating 5 out of 5." -- David Weeks, MyMac.com
  
  
• "Paid for itself in one sitdown. It helped me through a permissions problem that had me about to rack a round into a shotgun and put my computer to sleep the hard way. Landau saved the day again!" -- Jim Allen, www.amazon.com

Here are excerpts from reviews of the Panther edition of Help Line:

• "I've got to add Mac OS X Help Line to the canon of best OS X books...If there's an OS X question that you or I could pose, it'll most probably have the answer...I can't speak highly enough of this book. MyMac rating: 5 out of 5." -- David Weeks, MyMac.com
  
  
• "The book is an extraordinarily well-written and well-organized compendium of practical knowledge. Help Line...will provide you with everything you need to take care of all the OS X machines in your life." -- MacDirectory, Summer-Fall '04 issue, www.macdirectory.com
  
  
• "Mac OS X Help Line is the reference book to keep on your desk...at all times. If there would be one book that I would be allowed to buy when someone would put me in a room with a Mac OS X system and tell me I can't consult any other work to make the thing do what I wanted to do, it would be his 1,000-plus pages troubleshooting book." -- www.it-enquirer.com
  
  
• "Trouble? No-one shoots it better than Ted Landau. If you've got the use and enjoyment of Panther down but want a single source for preventive maintenance and help should oddities occur, then Mac OS X Help Line is the book to get." -- Mark Sealey, www.thinksecret.com
  
  
• "This invaluable compendium covers just about any technical problem you’re likely to encounter. Mac OS X Help Line is the book I’m most likely to take along on Mac consulting calls. Time after time, it delivers the goods. Very highly recommended." -- Elsa Travisano, MUG ONE, November '04 issue, www.mugone.com
  
  
• "One of your best resources is Ted Landau's Mac OS X Help Line. Just about every nook and cranny is covered in exquisite detail." -- Gene Steinberg, www.macnightowl.com
  
  
• "An instruction guide that truly instructs and guides. This book isn't a dry tech-manual. It is a 'this is how you use it' book. And it was fun to read too! If you don't have a tech-type at your beck-and-call 24/7,...get this book." 5 star rating. -- MacCompanion
  
  
• “Immense value. For a Mac owner with OS X, not having this book, while not inviting disaster, is inviting a great deal of probable hardship and aggravation.” -- Stephen R. Heller, J. Chem. Inf. Model
  
  
• "It is a phenomenal piece of work. I would've paid three times the price just in recognition of the amount of work it must've taken to write this opus. It's an essential book for ANY OS X user. It's the first book I recommend to students in my OS X classes, and the one I recommend to IT managers responsible for Macs on their networks." 5 stars. -- A. M. Concepcion, www.amazon.com
