- ARE THERE ANY GOOD BOOKS ABOUT THE MAC? (12.1)
-
- While there are a number of excellent books covering specific
- software packages, there are not many books that are generally useful
- to someone familiar with the net. The Mac is Not a TypeWriter by Robin
- Williams and The Macintosh Bible, by Arthur Naiman, Sharon Zardetto Aker
- and a cast of hundreds are two exceptions. Both are published by
- PeachPit Press and are available in finer and seedier
- bookstores everywhere.
-
- The Mac is Not a TypeWriter should be required reading for anyone
- using a Macintosh to produce printed matter. It teaches the differences
- between typing and typography and shows you how to avoid looking like a
- moron in print.
-
- The Macintosh Bible is a reference book that's surprisingly
- enjoyable reading. It's comprehensive enough to cover most questions
- that appear in this newsgroup including the not so frequent ones. It
- also includes lots of information you probably need but didn't know
- to ask.
