These are the books I have found most useful in working with OS/2 Warp over the years. Combined, they cover much of the material that I had included in the old DataBook® for OS/2.
Obtaining these books may be somewhat problematic these days, but there are still a few around. I do have several copies of “Inside OS/2 Warp.”
| Title | ISBN | Author(s) | Publisher | Description |
| Inside OS/2 Warp | 1-56205-378-7 | Minasi, Camarda, Hallberg, Both, et. al. | New Riders Publishing | I co-authored this book and Chapter 22, “Troubleshooting” was reviewed as being, “A tour de force that will surely repay your $39.95.” That aside, this book is aimed at experienced users. It provides excellent coverage of everything from using the Desktop to how things work including an especially good, in-depth chapter of filesystems, and one on optimization. |
| The OS/2 2.0 Handbook: Applications, Integration and Optimization | 0-442-01234-9 | Zack | Van Nostrand Reinhold | This book is a complete reference that discusses how to integrate DOS, Windows (3.1) and OS/2 applications. |
| OS/2 Power User’s Reference | 0-07-912218-3 | Chapman | McGraw-Hill | This is a Tips and Techniques book using a “help desk” like Q&A format. |
