The first edition of “The iPhone Book” was chosen by Amazon’s editors as their Computer/Technology Book of the Year.

Incredibly Useful and Informative, but jokes can be distracting
I am the type that buys “How To” books for education and information on things I do not know how to do myself. The iPhone Book is very useful and informative.

For absolute beginners only.
This is a fine and reasonably thorough book for the basics but if you are going to buy only one iPhone book you’re better off with either David Pogue’s The Missing Manual or Andy…

Move along, nothing to buy here
Sometimes sequels are better than the original and sometimes they are worse. Then there is the genre of movies that shouldn’t have been made in the first place, much less a…

Very fine primer on the iPhone
Although the iPhone is a powerful little machine, Apple’s elegant and user-friendly hardware and software makes it relatively easy to use.

I got the iphone 3G for Christmas. My flip phone was old, but it worked for me and I was comfortable with it. The iPhone, wow! So much more, it was actually daunting!
