I never heard of Caroline Rose until now, but as far as I am concerned she is an unsung hero in the history of Apple and should be a role model for tech writers everywhere.
You can get a PDF of the 1985 edition of Inside Macintosh here. Skimming through, I'm struck not only by the clarity and thoroughness of the writing, but its consistent tone. It's technical but has a human touch that doesn't feel forced or overly casual.

Thank you, Caroline Rose
