When looking for new titles in the Macintosh field, I came across the title
"the Macintosh Family Hardware Reference", supposedly published in May by
(I think) Addison-Wesley. I promptly ordered the book (in June), but it has
failed to show up. The bookshop I placed the order with, doubts that the book
is available as yet.
Has anybody out there in netland seen the book, or heard of it being released ?
Is it really worth having after all ? (I'm really interested in the hardware,
design and such..)

I bought it at B. Dalton's Bookstore. $26.95. From the preface, "this book provides overviews of the architecture of Macintosh computers and detailed descriptions of the hardware components that make up these computers....Book is intended to provide background and reference information for hardware engineers designing peripheral devices for Macintosh computers and for system programmers who need an understanding of the hardware in order to optimize their code." The 2nd edition of the Apple's Numeric Manual is also now in the bookstore. -- Larry Riddle | riddle@mathcs.emory.edu PREFERRED Emory University | {decvax,gatech}!emory!riddle UUCP Dept of Math and CS | riddle@emory NON-DOMAIN BITNET Atlanta, GA 30322 | (404) 727-7922 AT&T

I just bought a copy of the book at Stacey's Bookstore in San Francisco, and they had a half a dozen others as well. They are well know for being an excellent technical bookstore, so you'll have to look for the better technical bookstores in your area. (By the way, they had a dozen copies of the Mathematica book as well).

I've seen this book in several bookstores here in New York City, so it does exist and is available. Some stores in NY take phone orders and ship it to you with a bill. Marc Parmet
