OS/2 Related Books

 Many people are interested in finding out more about using or programming OS/2. In addition to the manuals written by IBM and Microsoft, there are a number of books written by others that areavailable through libraries, bookstores, and computer retail ers. The following is but a sampling of these; just enough to get you started. It is by no means intended to be an exhaustive list, nor is it an endorsement by IBM of any of the books or authors. The new OS/2 2.0 books have the version number in the title to distinguish them. The other books (without version numbers in the title) are specific to V1.2-1.3, but some may have applicability even to V2.0 users and programmers.
