Customer Review: I went through the entire book without the least difficulty and got a lot out of it. It is well organized going through a logical workflow of iPhoto -> iMovie -> Garageband -> iWeb and finally ending with iDVD.

Don't let the thinness of this book deceive you; it contains... more info
Customer Review: Although I have iLife '06, this edition on '04, which I found second-hand at a bargain price, is good enough for the moment in guiding me around the various components of the software (I am new to Macs and iLife). The recommendation is naturally to find a copy on the version of iLife you've got, but... more info
