I disagree.  If you don't have a MacSE or a MacII, you don't need volume V.
You can also get away without volume IV if you don't use any Mac PLUS
specific stuff.  I've been doing Mac programming for quite a while with
only volumes I and II (actually, I had less than that, I was using the
promotion edition until just recently - if you think that regular editions
of IM are hard to read......).

Actually, to start Mac Programming, the "Macintosh Revealed" books are probably
all you need, but you will find that very soon you'll want IM volumnes I and
II.  Anything beyond that is optional for many people.
