One book that I don't see here is the "Missing Manual: Mac OS X - 2nd Edition" book by David Pogue. It covers Jaguar and is exceptionally well written and very easy to follow without being overly simplistic. This really is the book that should have come bundled with Jaguar - hence the name for this series. I would not recommend the Killer Tips book. It is not designed to help the reader learn all the features of Jaguar. It simply highlights them. I am not sure about the other books in your list. I have not seen any of them recently so would not be able to comment on their usefulness. Amber -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
