O'Reilly Released "GarageBand: The Missing Manual:"

GarageBand may not begin with the letter i, but it's a glittering addition to Apple's iLife creative suite. It's a song-making toolkit and software recording studio that can produce professional-sounding, polished musical tracks. The program comes with 1,100 pre-recorded loops, tracks for live recordings, and effects like reverb and panning. But it doesn't come with a single page of printed instructions. "GarageBand: The Missing Manual" (O'Reilly, US $19.95) is the book that should have been in the box--and the manual that author David Pogue, a composer and former Broadway conductor, was born to write.
