I got my copy of Mac Secrets out and I found the following...I'm reading from the 2nd Edition if you want to read along at home...
-On page 169, under the section of System 1.0, the book mentions Mousing Around, which was on the tutorial disk (the book states so). It also mentions that Mousing Around was the program that had an incompatibility with the Finder. What I am not sure of from here is if Mousing Around was incompatible with 0.85 or 0.97. I also think the version that the authors are referring to as being shipped on the Mousing Around disk is the one they state is not ideal for regular use.
What I believe happened here, if Pogue and Schorr are saying what I think they are, is that Mousing Around was developed to be compatible with System 0.85 and had issues when the system was redone for its "production" phase (0.97). This is why the tour disk had the older version.
-On page 171, a sidebar about folders exists. The older rounded folder is placed next to the one that was in the Mac OS until OS 8. I believe I read somewhere, possibly on G. Younk's Mac 512 site, that this folder was in 0.85 and not 1.0. I've used straight-up 1.0 on my Lisa (original MacWorks disk) and I know the folders were "normal" in it.
Anyone else agree with my theory?
