Todd Stauffer is one of the most successful American authors on Mac-related topics. The 636-page English-language tome "How to Do Everything with Your iBook" (ISBN 0-07-212419-9) leaves hardly any questions unanswered when it comes to successfully configuring and using the iBook in conjunction with OS9.
There is a 150-page introduction to the Appleworks program package alone, and a troubleshooting guide helps with problems that arise. The book is occasionally offered on Ebay or Amazon .
