Apple is poised to release OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion in July, and we want to help smooth your transition to Apple's next big cat. Because many of you will want to upgrade soon, we have Joe Kissell's Take Control of Upgrading to Mountain Lion for sale now, with Matt Neuburg's Take Control of Using Mountain Lion available for pre-order as a single-page placeholder that you can use to get the full title once Mountain Lion ships. Use the links in this paragraph to buy either ebook singly with this limited-time $5-off introductory offer (you pay $10, list price is $15)—the $5-off discount will appear on the first screen of the cart. (The cart can support only one discount/coupon/bundle per order.)

Or buy both for only $20 in one trip through the cart.

Act soon, since this offer will expire when Apple releases Mountain Lion into the wild!
