Book Review: The iPhone Book: How to Do the Things You Want to Do with Your iPhone

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

You know that one episode of Family Guy where Peter makes some seemingly random reference to something that connects him to Generation X’ers and then the sketch goes on for too long. You don’t quite get the reference, it’s bearing to the story, or why Fox didn’t let sleeping dogs lie. Oh yeah, that’s pretty much every episode.

However, this reference to pop culture does actually have some bearing on my review of “The iPhone Book”. This was a series of disjointed short “tips” about the iPhone that included way too many pop culture references that made you scratch your head and want to put on Futurama instead. The book was cowritten by Scott Kelby and Terry White and their styles mixed like oil and doorknobs. In the intro the authors warn the book is “quirky.”, and if you want “quirky” buy this book. If you want a great book on how to use your iPhone, put this book back on the shelf.
