I need to buy a couple books about Mac OS X for some co-workers who are being forced to use Macs (new ones I'd love to own) against their will. I'm leaning towards the "Mac OS X Bible" and Davis Pogue's "Mac OS X: the missing Manual".

Any others I should consider? I need one book that is very basic and introductory and then another that is suitable for a computer savvy user (Windows and OS 9) who will pick up the basics quick but could use a book detailing all the fetaures.

I haven't used this book (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=Al4yq73BJ5&isbn=0321213513&itm=7) before but I've used other Visual QuickStart Guides and I've found them very useful.

Hello, Davis Pogue's "Mac OS X: the missing Manual" is a great book for them to learn from.:)

I came very close to buying Learning Unix for Mac OS X Panther (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0596006179/qid=1109980343/sr=8-7/ref=pd_bbs_7/002-4593476-5280066?v=glance&s=books&n=507846), but as I reached $100 way before I thought I had to let this one go... :( ;)

Most O'Reilly books are quite good...

Hmm, interesting stuff. Maybe I'll buy them all, since I'm spending company cash. :D
