Mac Bible Edging Toward the Million Mark
5th Edition is 90 Percent New

September 1994--Berkeley, CA--When the first printing of 100,000 copies of
the newest edition rolls off the presses this month, there will be 916,000
copies of The Macintosh Bible in print. This includes translations in
Chinese, Danish, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. Readers
have made this hefty tome the bestselling Macintosh book of all time. It
has received just about every award available for computer books,
including the Boston Computer Society's "User Groups Like You" award
(given by vote of the membership to the single best PC or Macintosh book),
and Publish magazine's Readers' Choice Award in the Mac category (awarded
by vote of the readership four years running).

The Macintosh Bible, 5th Edition has been completely revamped and is 90
percent new. It covers new hardware (the 500-series PowerBooks, Power
Macintoshes), new technology (CD-ROM and multimedia), new capabilities
(greater telecommunications and cross-platform flexibility), and new areas
(children's software). From AppleScript to the Internet, Photoshop to
networking, the 5th edition offers the most comprehensive overview of the
Macintosh ever published.

It also offers the most up-to-date information. Not only does The Macintosh
Bible, 5th Edition cover System 7.5, QuickDraw GX, Microsoft Works 4.0,
and Word 6.0, but it comes with a coupon for a free update booklet to be
mailed in the summer of 1995. All this and it's cheaper than its
predecessor--$30 instead of $32--in spite of its bigger size (1,170
pages).

To celebrate these many changes, The Macintosh Bible has been completely
redesigned inside and out. The new design is information-driven, making it
easier for readers to find and understand the information they need.

A mostly new crew is responsible for revamping both the content and the
design of this new edition. The eight editors and more than 50
contributors represent the best of the best in the Mac community. They
include Darcy DiNucci (project editor), Liz Castro (technical editor),
Aileen Abernathy, David Blatner, - Connie Guglielmo, John Kadyk, Henry
Norr, and Bob Weibel. An opinionated lot, they've added a new feature:
editors' polls--opinions from the authors on important topics such as
what's the best screensaver or whether it really is important to have a
color monitor. Collectively they bring decades of Macintosh writing and
editing experience to the project.

The Macintosh Bible is divided into 25 chapters. In addition to the usual
categories (the computer and its operating system, the many kinds of
software available, preventing and solving problems, graphics), there are
also chapters on multimedia, education and reference, kids on the Mac,
telecommunications, and networking. And there are four appendices (on
healthy computing, resources for more information, buying Macs and Mac
products, and vendor names and addresses). Plus there's a very large
glossary and an enormous index. Two additional goodies are offered: three
disks containing all the recommended shareware discussed in The Macintosh
Bible (for just ten bucks more), and the free update booklet.

From tips to tools, from shortcuts to the lowdown, it's all here. And if
it's not, it just doesn't belong.
