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.
