Great book for new Mac users
Get this book first. It's the only one you need for iLife 08. It is great for a beginner (like me) or for someone who wants to get more out of the programs. This book is full of hints and tips I would never have figured out in years.
A feature that I liked was its 2-page spread articles. One thing at a time, covered neatly in a 2-page spread with plenty of color illustrations. You can learn one thing a day, or keep reading and learn the entire program.
Jim Heid did a great job. Worth every penny, and Amazon has a great price.

Very Good Intro to iLife08
Jim Heid's "The Macintosh iLife '08" is a very good introduction to the new Apple software.
It's a difficult task, since there are so many pieces to iLife, but Jim handles it well. In particular the extensive use of annotated illustrations makes the book and thus its subject quite accessible.
I'd recommend Heid's iLife book to anyone seeking to get familar with iLife's many features as quickly as possible. This book doesn't go into great depth, but has something helpful on most every feature.
Disclosure: Jim helped organize or spoke at conferences on Web design that my former company ran. He is extremely knowledgable and respected in the industry.
