True to iBooks’ promise, 60 Mountain Lion Tips is fully interactive with screenshots of tips, text, and video screencasts which give you visual step-by-step guidance to tips you’ll use.
Even if you don’t have an iPad or your country doesn’t have an iBookstore, there’s a PDF version that includes all the same media but ready for viewing in iTunes.
Here’s what the tips look like in iBooks, starting with Chapter 1.

Frankly, this kind of book is inspiring. I can imagine myself creating a children’s story book, or a parenting book using nothing more than my Mac, my iPhone (for photos and movies), and iBooks Author.
