My book about iWork ’09, Apple’s remarkable collection of productivity software, started shipping from Amazon this week and should be available on the shelves of fine booksellers everywhere starting next week (May 4).

Snap up your copy of iWork ’09: The Missing Manual by ordering the paper book from Amazon or by downloading the ebook from publisher O’Reilly. O’Reilly also offers a nifty discount when you buy both the paper and electronic versions at once. (You can read ebooks on iPhone, Kindle or Sony Reader, or as a PDF on your computer.) If you happen to subscribe to O’Reilly’s nifty Safari Books Online service, you can read the complete book online.

iWork ’09 includes Pages, Keynote and Numbers: Apple’s word processor, presentation software and spreadsheet program. While familiar, these programs do lots of things in new and different ways than their stolid Microsoft counterparts. They make it astoundingly easy to create beautiful documents and presentations. iWork ’09: The Missing Manual gives you the complete tour; the book is comprehensive at nearly 900 pages but, no kidding, it’s also lots of fun. (I can’t imagine that any other software manual has ever featured so many superheroes.) With a uniquely witty style that helps you learn quickly, this Missing Manual explains not only how to use every feature, but why and when, with entertaining and helpful examples every step of the way.

"I can't BELIEVE how easy it is to create custom templates, which is unlike every other CMS I've ever tried. It literally only took me a couple of minutes to load a new template. As a very harried and overworked web designer, this is going to save me COUNTLESS hours. I love, love, love Big Medium!!!"
