What's really nice about Cocoa is that once you grab the concepts you won't
need a book really. I liked the Hillegass one myself but I picked up an app
call Cocoa Browser which as you guessed is a browser for Apple's docs and
that's all I need...Although, if the Anguish (who posts to this list, hi
Scott) one is really what I think it is I will pick that up. I really like
pure reference books with detail on what the classes/methods do and besides,
I can bring it to the toilet, bus, school, work etc.

Hillegass does a good jobthough if you want some instruction. It has flaws
but overall it's a good book.
