There's a set of those at a downtown bookstore
The entire set was distributed as PDF's on a CD. I wouldn't bother
with the dead tree version. There was also an overview volume added
in the later versions.
and
MPW (Macintosh Programmer's Workshop?) hasn't
been mentioned yet;
that was the Apple-supported environment, but rarely held up as a
standard of usability.
We used it for all system development 'til the switch to OSX. Think of
what the Mac would have been with a command line interface, and you have
MPW. Code management (projector) was OK, but had some nasty constraints
when building big projects.
The big problem with all the 68K programming environments for the Mac is
A5 relative addressing, creating a segmented 64K environment on a machine
that originally had a flat address space. That was the big thing we changed
on PPC machines.
