A good enough general survey of the Macintosh operating system -- fairly complete, and easy to read and follow. However, for more advanced users there is not enough information on troubleshooting, which is what I think most users are looking for in a computer book.

well the really good thing about the book is that it contains a complete reference of what is possible with the mac, but for previous users of Mac Os 7.x it is just too much of informtaion. Unfortunately there is no section "what`s new in the MAc OS 8".

When a Mac works properly, one does not need a book. I buy books like The Mac OS8 Book to help me when I am in trouble. When OS 8 freezes and crashes (and it does!) the book offers no help. I was disappointed.

This is the manual Apple should have supplied with Mac Os 8. I would certainly recommend it for beginners or new users. However this book offers no real help to users wishing to resolve problems or to experienced "Macusers" This appears to be an issue with almost all "System" books written for the Macintosh. For those people looking for a users manual on system 8, a good buy.
