I just came across this archive of older publications, which includes multiple books on older OSX system software. Some of this is really very useful fare.
Not all are complete but some do appear to be. I have been looking at the one on OSX Server v.10.3, for example, and it is certainly complete.

What part of the concept of copyright don't you understand?

In a world where software vendors and computer book authors released the copyright to their books a certain number of years or versions after the version that book is about would be a really great world, and the originally linked web site might have a really good place in that world -- one that wouldn't require them to run more ads than a gadget blog.
Unfortunately, in the real world, no books about computers have fallen into the public domain, and if you want to get free books, a lot of the time tech publishers have a few books free and in the clear, usually acquired from the publisher's web site, such as on the Microsoft Press blog.

Apologies. I actually thought it was legitimate. Idiot moment.

NoPro, I've had my share of those moments here as well, we're all only human . . .
. . . it's not a whole heck of a lot to work with. 😉
