Vintage Macintosh Programming Book Library
Nick R. was generous enough to send me his entire vintage Mac programming library to be destructively scanned and shared with the community. We’ve added a few of our own for a pretty huge collection (over 150) of vintage Mac programming related books.
Via Rui Carmo:
[This] is a great resource for people interested in vintage Mac programming, including the original Think Pascal and Think C books I used when I was hacking away at 68k Mac apps.
The books are mostly from the 1980s and 1990s, so it doesn’t have the Rhapsody Developer’s Guide or the early books on Carbon, Cocoa, and the other technologies from NeXT.

I have been making great use of many of these books working on some classic Mac programming projects. It's wonderful that these folks have made them all available like this!
I'm also generally harsh on new versions of macOS, but the feature Apple added somewhat recently where it automatically OCRs scanned PDFs so you can search their text has been extremely useful.
@Bri Yes, I think the Live Text OCR (which isn’t just for PDFs) is the best new macOS feature in at least the last five years.
