need a good book to get me up to speed with OSX

[schmintan]

I am having a difficult time getting up to speed with OSX, as i dont get to use it every day. Can anyone recommend a book that will tell me how it works, where to go to look at logs, help resolve application issues, and tell me the general behaviour of the OS?

Are you asking as a developer or as a user? For users, David Pogue's Missing Manual is considered the standard recommendation.

No probs. It doesn't cover the upcoming Leopard release yet, but it'll get your feet wet. You sound like an experienced / comfortable computer user in general. By the time Leopard comes out, you can figure it out alongside the rest of us.
