When will the next edition of the iWork Missing Manual be published?
Hopefully David Pogue will be involved.

We are going to try an experiment (or two) with the iWork 08: The Missing Manual title. The iWork 05: The Missing Manual text will be posted online, so the community can help update it. If we get enough interest, we'll bring in an editor and consider printing it. Stay tuned.

Inappropriate?It sounds like the last version of iWork didn't work out from a sales perspective. The new features in iWork are definitely more interesting and beefy, but it's true that people aren't switching from Office to iWork in droves. But, many people want to.
I know this isn't the point of a Missing Manual, but perhaps a "switching" to iWork book -- what works and what doesn't, importing, etc. -- would be more valuable.
I’m just gabbin' over here

Inappropriate?Let's do it quick. I loved your other "Missing Manuals" as they guided me through the thick and thin of Macintosh. As someone stated "05" is too out of date compared to the current "08" i Work. Thanks -
Inappropriate?I'm dying for a new iWork missing manual too, especially now that Numbers is part of the suite. Word processors and presentation software seem pretty straight forward to me, but I've never really had a need for a spreadsheet. I'm sure I'm the odd one in that case, but considering the capabilities of Numbers, I'm really looking forward to it's chapter. Heck, I'd buy a book on Number alone. -
Inappropriate?Well, I for one certainly would buy the iWork '08 missing manual in a second. I just converted from Win/XP with Office 2003 and Photoshop CS2 to an iMac with iWork and Photoshop Elements 6. I bought the OS X and Photoshop El missing manuals - they have been lifesavers. My iWork has been going OK, but I'm old-school and like a nice paper book in my hand at times when I want to investigate a new piece of software.2 Comments Add a comment

I, too, want a Missing Manual: iWork '08...soon, please, please... -
Now I know why Borders is always out of this manual. There isn't one.

Inappropriate?I've been holding off on buying the software until a Missing Manual comes out. The sooner the better for me. -
Inappropriate?I need this book! And David Pogue's book are always the best. I don't want to always have to study on the computer. I like books too!
