How to Write Macintosh Software by Scott Knaster, an Apple Press
book in the Hayden Macintosh Library, published by Hayden Book
Company.  This book was advertised in the third issue of the first
volume of the Software Supplement.  While I have no complaints about
the content of the book, my copy and all the other copies delivered
to the B Dalton BookSellers in my area all had some production
defects:  pages 19-49 were bound into the book upside down except in
the copy in which I later exchanged which did not have those pages
at all.  If you intend to purchase this book I suggest you examine
the copy before buying it.

Otherwise I found the book to be very helpful.  It gives a lot of
hints in debugging and memory management.  When I get a little more
time I will post an article which reviews the book in more detail.
