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.

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.

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.

An excellent reference for the Mac 9 series OS. I bought it when a friend gave me my eMac. I had no clue how to use a Mac, but this taught me how to use and upgrade it. It is complete and can get complex. Anything you would want to know is here. Sometimes it could have been a little better organized, or better, more clearly written, but it is here and understandable. It is not a quick start manual like the Sam's series, but it will get you started, and in more depth as you learn. I have seen references I prefer, but this was my first, and is still one of the best.

This is the OS 9 book that should have come with the computer. All the answers are here. If you're still using OS9, you'd better grab this up before they all disappear.
