Hi All, The Take Control ebooks, one of the great sources of information for the Mac and iOS devices, are on sale for the end of September with a coupon code of "CPN20921SEPSALE" (without the quotation marks) that will give a 50% discount when applied at check out up through the end of September. These books are DRM-free, and are available in both PDF and ePub versions. Furthermore, once you purchase a book, which generally lists for $10 or $15, you can get all minor version revisions free and re-download alternate formats from your account, and often you can get a discount on the new major version of the eBook.
I'm cc'ing this to the viphone list, because some titles, such as "Take Control of iTunes" or even "Take Control of Switching to the Mac", may be of interest. For Mac users, titles such as "Take Control of Apple Mail in Mountain Lion", "Take Control of Using Mountain Lion", "Take Control of Troubleshooting Your Mac, Second Edition", "Take Control of the Mac Command Line with Terminal" (for learning to use Terminal and unix concepts), "Take Control of Backing Up Your Mac", and "Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Network, Third Edition" (for general Wi-Fi setups and use) might be of interest. These guides are very hands on and practical; some of them have information that I've never found anywhere else. If you log in through their special anniversary sale link, the coupon code should get filled in automatically. This URL is: http://tid.bl.it/september-sale-mountain-lion Alternatively, if this web page is busy, you can go to their catalog page: http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/catalog You can browse the "Take Control" titles in iBooks, if you have an iOS device, but the discounted price and the ability to download alternative formats and be informed of new, free, updates is only available for purchases made through their web site. (I find it easier to browse the titles in iBooks). I'll put in a few sample direct links to specific books on their web site: • Take Control of iTunes 10: The FAQ, Second Edition http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/itunes • Take Control of Apple Mail in Mountain Lion http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/mountain-lion-apple-mail • Take Control of Using Mountain Lion http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/mountain-lion-using • Take Control of Switching to the Mac http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/switching • Take Control of Backing up Your Mac http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/backing-up • Take Control of the Mac Command Line with Terminal http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/command-line • Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Network, Third Edition http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/airport-n There are also good guides for GarageBand, third party apps such as Scrivener.
