TidBIT Publishing released Leopard Editions of Five Take Control Books

In conjunction with the launch of Leopard, Take Control Books released Leopard editions of five of their most popular electronic books. Together, these ebooks help Mac users install Leopard successfully, customize its new and revamped features, share files more elegantly than was possible in Tiger, manage fonts effectively, and much more. The ebooks are available individually or in discounted bundles, and owners of previous editions receive a discount. Free samples and print versions are also available.

Take Control of Upgrading to Leopard, by Joe Kissell, shows readers the best ways to install, clean up after installation, troubleshoot problems, and even downgrade if necessary. 125 pages, $10.

Take Control of Customizing Leopard, by Matt Neuburg, provides a tour of new and revamped features in Leopard, including Time Machine, Spaces, Quick Look, Cover Flow, and the Path Bar. 138 pages, $10.

Take Control of Users & Accounts in Leopard, by Kirk McElhearn, explains different types of accounts in Leopard, how to share files between accounts, and what can be limited with new features in Leopard's parental controls. 88 pages, $10.

Take Control of Sharing Files in Leopard, by Glenn Fleishman, makes file sharing easy between two Macs, among a mixed-platform office workgroup, a home network, or between far-flung computers on the Internet. 89 pages, $10.

Take Control of Fonts in Leopard, by Sharon Zardetto, explains everything Mac users need to know about fonts in Mac OS X and what has changed with Leopard, with a focus on Leopard's new and updated fonts, font activation capabilities, font previewing, and font sample printing. 217 pages, $15.

"We've been working long hours with the pre-release versions of Leopard to ready these books for simultaneous release with Leopard because Mac users shouldn't have to wait for professional-quality documentation," Adam Engst, publisher of Take Control Books, said.

Customers can save 25% by purchasing Take Control of Upgrading to Leopard with Take Control of Customizing Leopard. All five ebooks may be purchased together at a 30% discount. [Bill Fox]
