> No. I can tell you with absolutely certainty that these prematurely leaked books are never signs of any upcoming Apple products.

Isn't the last Apple-authorised book about Mac OS 8, Copland?

**** How To Make A Mac Plus Clock ****

Benj Edwards, Macworld


> Technically, any compact Macintosh could serve as a clock, but the Mac Plus is the most attractive target because, when booted from a floppy, the Mac Plus clock will be completely silent. That's thanks to the Mac Plus's lack of an internal cooling fan—something Steve Jobs insisted upon for the original 1984 Macintosh model that carried over to the Plus.

**** The Wayward Essay ****
<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/30/books/review/the-fun-stuff-by-james-wood-and-more.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0>
Parul Sehgal, New York Times


> In its quality of attention and faith in the salvific power of the right words in the right order, the essay resembles nothing so much as a secular prayer. That, at least, was the original point. The essay has proved wayward, which has been the great secret to its longevity.



**** Handled With Care ****
<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/30/books/review/handled-with-care.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&pagewanted=all>
Andrew D. Scrimgeour, New York Times


> On this particular day I’m standing in the doorway of a distinguished but forlorn library in South Bend, Ind., ready to perform last rites on the extensive collection of James White, a noted historian and specialist in the liturgies and worship practices of the Christian tradition. I always pause before entering these libraries. Even after the family has shown me to the space, I can’t just barge in. That seems disrespectful. I need to be introduced to the books. I need to become acquainted.
