You can find PDF versions of the old Apple HIG online; I just found a GitHub repo that has them:
https://github.com/gingerbeardman/apple-human-interface-guid...
It was a design movement, with zealots and influencers.
Was comparable to Jeffrey Zeldman's "Design with Web Standards".
The books go into reasons for the design decisions they made.
As such, it's still worth reading, more concrete than Norman's "Design of Everyday Things".
