Very well done, a good addition to the Nutshell series
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I found this book to have full coverage of the Mac OS and many utilities. The book goes into many aspects of the system providing the friendly full featured Mac OS. This book is intended to give some technical knowledge to the reader, and it does it well. The only thing that I find it lacked was more meaty system level details, but I still think that it was a good overall look. Very good book about a great OS!
A great fun to write (and read)

Mac OS in a Nutshell was one of the most interesting books I have ever written. The Mac is an extremely intuitive system to work on, but really understanding how to use its powerful features takes time and patience. I worked harder than I ever have to learn the underpinnings of such technologies as QuickTime 4, ColorSync3 , Sherlock 2, and OpenTransport to present information about how to get the most use out of them, without verboseness or too much jargon.The beauty of the O'Reilly Nutshell series is its succinctness. The Mac OS book provides tips, tricks, descriptions of processes and tasks without boring you with information you don't need to perform your work. You can either read the book cover to cover or use its chapters to research topics that require the book's indepth coverage. It was an honor to write this book about the best operating system ever written. The book covers Mac OS 9 and introduces Mac OS X.
