The Missing Mac OS9 manual is a great book. Definitely worth taking a look at if you're new to OS9. I've already learned most of what I need to from it and I'm only a few chapters in.

Read a few pages....and actually learned things about a system I am using for more than 30 years. Conclusion:
1- good, well written book or 2- I am a dumb ***  ;D

I have this book ISBN 0764534149 Mac OS9 Bible by Poole & Stauffer, cost next to nothing as most books seem to be nowerdays which is great!  :D
