Just in time for the holidays, my latest book The OS X Mavericks Pocket Guide is now available! I received my author copies last week, which means that the print edition is either available now or is about to be on the shelves at fine booksellers near you. The ebook is available now from Amazon.com, the iBooks Store, and Peachpit Press. When you’re visiting family (and troubleshooting their Macs), why not leave a book on their desk or under the tree?
The list price is only $17.99, and you can get it for as low as $13.48 (print) or $9.99 (ebook). Peachpit also offers a bundle that gives you the print book and the ebook.
