I've just ordered a new iMac G5 for a home system I've had year of
experience with UNIX and Windows but none with a Mac. I want to use if
for a home system for digital photo work, writing and email with out
the constant problems of Windows (I have enough of that at work)

What would be the best books to start leaning OS-X and using the Mac
interface?

As Mac OS X is relatively easy to comprehend, any book out there will do a
decent job of getting you started. If it were me, I'd go to a decent
bookstore, find the Learn Mac OS X section, and flip through all the books,
reading enough to determine whose writing style I liked best.

Good advice. Be sure to include in your assessment "Mac OS X - The
Missing Manual Panther Edition" from Pogue/O'Reilly.
