TOTAL CONTROL

This book gives you total control over OS 9. Nothing is left out and is presented to you in plain english. Don't be intimidated by the number of pages this book contains, you'll read every single page.

Comprehensive and clear treatment

The Mac OS 9 seems to bring few improvements over the previous release, you may have thought. Not after you read and benefit from this comprehensive book. You will understand why the Mac is not widespread like the Windows big brother, but it is the best of the two.

Comprehensive for the Mac Guru

Being a MS person, I needed a single book that could take me from mere basic familiarity with Mac OS to a comfortable level of fluency. This "bible" does just that: comprehensive and easy to follow, it is simply the best Mac book on the shelves for anyone who wants more than a superficial or "dumbed down" and simple user's guide. I highly recommend this book.
