Some extra info on the books (from the back cover):
"Written by the people at Apple Computer, Inside Macintosh is the definitive
source of information for programmers writing application programs, desk
accessories, device drivers, and other software for any of the computers in
the Apple Macintosh' family. It includes:
• Guidelines for designing a user interface that conforms to the Macintosh
standard.
• Descriptions of more than 1,200 ROM- and disk based routines.
• A description of the Macintosh hardware.
Inside Macintosh is your guide to creating software for the Macintosh,
whatever programming language you use. It describes the Pascal interfaces to
the routines and, wherever applicable, gives special information for
programming in assembly language. (If you're using a high-level language
other than Pascal, your development system documentation should tell you how
to apply the information in Inside Macintosh.) A typical chapter describes a
related set of routines, such as the Window Manager, and provides:
• Key concepts and background information.
• Hints on which routines you need to learn about and how they fit into your
program.
• A detailed description of each routine.
Volume I, contains: important introductory material, description of the
QuickDraw graphics package,
descriptions of the Resource, Font, and Menu Managers and other important
Managers. Volume 1I complements Volume I in describing the Managers that
perform such basic routines as file and device I/0, memory management, and
interrupt handling. Volume III discusses your program's interface with the
Macintosh Finder,`" describes the Macintosh 128K and 512K computers, and
provides summaries of all the Managers and other software described in
Volumes I through III. Volume N discusses the changes introduced by the
Macintosh 512K Enhanced and Macintosh Plus computers, including the
Hierarchical File System and the SCSI port. Volume V discusses the changes
introduced by the Macintosh SE and Macintosh II computers, including color,
NuBUS" slots, and the Apple Desktop Bus:"
