Vintage 1984 Macintosh book. 
From the back cover:
Meet Macintosh: 
Now, the friendliest personal computer is even easier to get to know! Macintosh: The Appliance of the Future goes beyond what you could learn simply by using the Macintosh or reading the machine's instructions. With this guide, you'll also master advanced techniques and shortcuts for using the Macintosh operating system, the MacWrite word processing program and the MacPaint graphics program. You'll even learn about Mac features that are barely explained or not mentioned at all in the Macintosh documentation!
This step-by-step tutorial covers:
MacPaint - Create elaborate illustrations, letterheads, graphs, etc. Add text to a picture and customize background patterns. Use FatBits shortcuts to change details quickly in your illustrations.
MacWrite - Start out with the basic commands for creating, editing and formatting documents. Play with MacWrite's nine typefaces. Move a picture from the Clipboard into your text. Create standard formats for letters, memos, reports, etc. Underline and boldface words without reaching for the mouse!
Dealing with the Desktop - Practice with the Calculator, the Alarm Clock and other accessories. Keep the desktop neat by arranging your documents into folders. Organize and retrieve your documents with a folder tree.
Disk Management - Save documents and make backup copies with the minimum number of disk swaps. Create data disks for your documents. Clear out seldom-used features to increase disk capacity by as much as 15 to 75 pages of text!
And There's More! - Learn about the programmer's switch on the side of the machine. Discover the characters (rabbits and robots, for example) hidden behind the typefaces. And much more!
