Inside Macintosh is the official Apple documentation of the workings of the
Macintosh. It comes in 5 volumes:

	Volume	1:	"Classic Mac, part 1: The applications"
	Volume	2:	"Classic Mac, part 2: The operating system"
	Volume	3:	"Classic Mac, part 3: The hardware, and stuff we forgot"
	Volume	4:	"The Mac Plus, or how the file system grows a tree"
	Volume	5:	"The Mac II (oh, yeah, and the SE): A brave new world"

The titles are mine, by the way, not Apple's, but they give some idea of
what is covered in each. These are not the best place to start into the 
Mac programming world, and are sometimes inaccurate/misleading due to
errors, omissions, or changes in the specs. They are supplimented by 
221 (I think) Tech Notes, available through APDA. Inside Macintosh is 
available in a lot of book stores, in the computer sections.
