Macworld’s Total Leopard: like Total Recall, only with less Arnold

Total LeopardWe love our siblings over at Macworld; they’re like the big brother we never had growing up, always calling us “squirt” and taking our lunch money. And though we hate all the noogies and the way they melt our action figures’ feet for “realistic battle damage,” we remain convinced that it’s all out of love. And secretly, we look up to them. Well, maybe not so much secretly.

So, we tell you this just to point out that we’ll recommend Macworld’s new Superguide not out of blind sibling loyalty, but because we actually think they’re pretty awesome. The latest in that line is a 90-page guide to Apple’s latest incarnation of OS X, Leopard. Available as a downloadable PDF or as a full-color paperback, Total Leopard is chock full of detailed information about all of 10.5’s new features from the Macworld editors and contributors who make it their business to know everything worth knowing.

You can pick up the PDF version for $12.95, order the paperback for $24.99, or, if you live in 1997, you can get a copy on CD-ROM for $15 (my requests for a limited edition hardcover were sadly denied). And if you’re looking for a taste of the goodness that’s nestled between the covers, check out this free downloadable sample (PDF link).

Now, if only they’d stop feeding our homework to the dog, everything would be great.
