This book, despite its title, isn't as much a book about Lion as it is a book about how to use a Mac with Lion to do certain neat projects. Most Mac users can figure out email and surfing the web, but what about taking your DVD collection and putting in on your Mac?Before purchasing this book, read through the projects. Even if one of them interests you, the book will be a great value. If you aren't interested in any of this, then it's probably worth taking a pass. Projects are as follows1) Organizing your files2) Mastering Spotlight searches3) Printing to save paper4) Installing applications purchased at the Mac App store5) Providing Remote Technical Support6) Remote controlling a Mac in your home7) Accessing your files remotely from another Mac8) Using DropBox9)) Copying DVD content to your Mac10) Basic photo editing and touch ups11) Creating a slideshow12) Using Rapid Weaver for a family website13) RSS Feeds14) Configuring TextExpander15) Full screen mode to avoid distractions16) Audio Podcasting17) Setting up Time Machine alongside a cloning solution18) Using your signature in a PDFEach of these projects are short--just four of five pages. The book is easy to understand and the projects are fun and relevant. They assume a basic to intermediate knowledge of Lion. No explanations of files or how to click a mouse is included.Since I knew how to do all of this or the things I didn't know didn't interest me, I didn't find the book that valuable. I learned this stuff the hard way through trial and error. However if someone asked me how to do any of these small projects, you bet I'll suggest this book.New Mac users who simply want to feel more comfortable with their Mac and need some ideas of projects will find this book ideal. If I did Macintosh tutoring this would be a great companion manual.Overall, a fun book for intermediate Mac users with relevant and interesting projects.Pros: Excellent digest of fun projects to get to know Lion and your Mac betterCons: Limited scope if you already know how to do these things or if they don't interest you.Five out of Five
