Missing Manual books are designed to be superbly written guides to computer products that don’t come with printed manuals (which is just about all of them). Each book features RepKover, a binding that lets the book lie flat without the assistance of cinder blocks; cross-references to specific page numbers (not just “See Chapter 14“); and a promise never to use an apostrophe in the possessive word its. Current and upcoming titles include:
