Volume 1,2 are needed.  Volume 3 no really - just an index for 1 and 2.
Volume 4 is needed for MacPlus specific stuff (which also applies to SE/II)
Volume 5 is SE and II specific stuff.

The MacRevealed stuff is great if you are a beginner.  After delving into
the deeper mysteries of Macintosh, it will prove less useful.

Programming the Macintosh with MPW by Joel West is also good.

Macintosh Programming Secrets by Scott Knaster is good after you've been
programming a while.

Hope this helps.

I have no connection with anyone except Apple where I work.  This is NOT
an official Apple endorsement or recommendation.  Just my own.
