If he is a beginner, I would recommend _both_ of the "Macintosh Revealed"
books.  They give good examples on how to use the toolbox without getting too
detailed.  After he has a firm grip on the basics (putting up windows, doing
event loops, etc...), he should buy IM to get the detailed information that
is needed to understand one's Mac.

I would also recommend the magazine MacTutor (on that subject, I remember
seeing the names David Smith and Joel West appearing in there... :-)
