The most readily available book on OS-9 is

*The Complete RAINBOW Guide to OS-9*, by Dale Puckett and Peter Dibble.

This book can be had at just about any Radio Shack store, assuming that
you can get the Radio Shack salesman to stop trying to sell you PClones
long enough to tell you where the books are kept.

I feel less and less comfortable recommending this book as time goes on,
though, because it only covers OS-9/6809, and OS-9/68000 is diverging more
from OS-9/6809 as time goes on--but that divergence is more in terms of
more bells and whistles on the shell or additional file managers and device
drivers, so for the fundamental concepts the book is still worth your while.

You should, of course, have the manuals.  For 2.0 they've been heavily
revised and improved.

The other books on OS-9 that I'm aware of are sold through the folks who
publish *68 Micro Journal*, which, by the way, has a regular OS-9 column.
(*Rainbow* magazine has one, too, but it's 6809-oriented and you might not
consider the cost of the magazine worth the small fraction devoted to OS-9.
So you can decide for yourself, I point out that *Rainbow* can be found in
B. Dalton's and Waldenbooks.)

Finally--Michael Wakofski (sp?), who writes a CoCo column that gets published
in *Computer Shopper* when the editorial staff has a page to spare from the
PClone material that otherwise fills the magazine, is considering starting
an OS-9-oriented magazine (68K as well as 6809).  If anything comes of it,
I'll send a message to the info-68k mailing list.
