Inside Macintosh Volumes I-III are very useful. I'd recommend them since you can get them cheap. Search for them on Amazon. Volumes I-III can be found combined in one large hardback. I think it cost me less than $7 including shipping, so you might as well get it.
I had a harder time locating, but I think I found one. We'll see when it gets here. :)

The other book I would look for would be either of the "Macintosh Programming Primers" written by Dave Mark and Cartwright Reed. There's one for Pascal and one for C..
I'm seeing quite a number of books by D. Mark, and a few by both authors as well, on these subjects. Do you have an EXACT full book title or better, an ISBN number?

For early macs, pascal was the language of choice. Inside Macintosh has it's code examples in pascal. That doesn't mean you have to go with it... I agree that Think Pascal and Think C are the way to go..
Does Inside Macintosh also presume MPW?

So your target is a 512k mac right? What will you be developing on? ..
It'd be nice if I could target the 512k, but I also have an 8mb Plus.

I'd like to either develop on my System 6 Plus, or System 8.1 040 Quadra 650, or System 9 PPC G4 Cube.

If you're developing on the 512k, I don't know if that will work. Maybe you'll have to use version 3...
I'm not up for that much punishment. ;)

Thank you very much, Nathan.
