=== General guides to the machine ===

* '''[[The Apple Macintosh Primer 1984]]''' &mdash; James D. Sadler / DATAMOST, Reston Publishing,
  1984, 113 pp. Written for the 128K, before there was anything else.
* '''[[Presenting the Macintosh 1984]]''' &mdash; Merl K. Miller and Mary A. Myers, dilithium Press,
  1984, 125 pp. Same vintage, same audience.
* '''[[The Apple Macintosh Book Second Edition 1985|The Apple Macintosh Book, 2nd edition]]''' (Cary
  Lu, Microsoft Press, 1985, 422 pp) and '''[[The Apple Macintosh Book 3rd edition 1988|3rd edition]]'''
  (Cary Lu with Ellen W. Chu, 1988, 395 pp). Cary Lu's book is the best contemporary account of how
  the hardware and the system fitted together.
* '''[[Under the Apple 1987]]''' &mdash; Howard Bornstein, 1987, 363 pp, on Macintosh desk
  accessories.
* '''[[The Color Mac 1992]]''' &mdash; Marc D. Miller and Randy Zaucha, Hayden, 1992, 333 pp: colour
  design and production, which is where the display-calibration expectations of the period come from.
* '''[[The Power Mac Book 1995]]''' (Ron Pronk, Coriolis, 1995, 411 pp) and
  '''[[The PowerPC Macintosh Book 1994]]''' (Stephan Somogyi, Addison-Wesley, 1994, 241 pp) &mdash;
  the PowerPC transition as it was explained to owners at the time.
* '''[[The Tao of AppleScript 1993]]''' &mdash; Derrick Schneider for BMUG, Hayden, 1993, 311 pp.
* '''[[The Great Macintosh Easter Egg Hunt 1998]]''' &mdash; David Pogue, Berkley Books, 1998,
  140 pp. A catalogue of hidden messages and jokes in Apple hardware and software, and '''expressly
  unauthorised''' &mdash; its own copyright page says so. Nothing serviceable in it, but it is the
  reason several ROM-resident oddities on [[Macintosh Old World ROM]] are documented at all.
