Books

From 1993 to 2009, I authored the following books about the Macintosh and Apple products:

Sad Macs, Bombs and Other Disasters. Across four editions starting in 1993, Sad Macs became a number-one best-selling Macintosh book and remained the definitive troubleshooting guide for the Macintosh pre-Mac OS X.

Mac OS X Help Line. Weighing in at almost 1200 pages, it was (and probably still is) the most complete troubleshooting guide for Mac OS X ever published. The final edition (2006) covered Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. As one reviewer put it: "Every Mac owner should have a copy of this book - it is a must! I can't think of any book that comes close to this book. It truly is in a league of its own." [Initial editions of this book were titled Mac OS X Disaster Relief.]

Take Control of iPhone OS 3. This was the title of the third, and final (2009), edition of my ebook about the iPhone. Although its emphasis (no surprise) was on troubleshooting, it was also intended as a general introduction to the new device and iOS.
