This is a great book!  (I hit chapter 6 this weekend, and I just received the  
book last week!). I like it because it's organization is well thought out and  
it strikes (at least for me) a good balance between detail and breadth.  

Easily the best NeXTSTEP programming book out today.

	Chapter 1
	Introduction to the NeXTSTEP

	Chapter 7
	Delegation and Resizing

	Chapter 8

	Chapter 9
	Mach and the Window Server

	Chapter 10

	and the Text Object

	Chapter 12
