The very fat book that I borrowed from the library and subsequently lugged all over town

Guess its title. :)

Jim.. heh heh. I can write a one-line book on that: make lotsa money!

Will.. er, never heard of the Gulah Archipelago.

More along Brian's lines. I've actually mentioned wanting to check it out before..

Unix for Mac OS X by Dave Taylor and Brian Jepson

Cheers... I know I'll win... haha

Sorry MOFW, Unix for Mac OS is a very thin book! :)

OK. It looks like there might be a little bit of a yellow reflection on your arm. That means it's one of the "Bible" series.

Is it the Linux Bible?

How observant Brian! It is yellow but it isn't the Bible series.. Doing a search on my site for "Mac OS" may help... *hint*

I ought to give away prizes for all the effort!

Alright. I'm going with the 1,216 page "Mac OS X Help Line" over the relatively puny 712 page "Mac OS X Disaster Relief."

Both yellow, both easily found with the search you suggested.

Is it any wonder the "Disaster Relief" book is shorter? I'm still wondering how to get 712 pages out of Mac OS X "disasters," though, unless you count things like, "how to recover your MacBook from the bottom of the swimming pool."

I'm going to have to read those, myself...
