Marc completed a book in 2007 with Moira Gagen, in association with Peachpit Press, that was well-received:

"This authoritative, Apple-Certified training course is designed both for professionals who support Apple computers as well as Macintosh enthusiasts who want to upgrade, service, or troubleshoot their favorite systems. Fully revised, this third edition includes Apple's new models with Intel processors, the MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac. Keyed to the learning objectives of the Apple Desktop Service and Apple Portable Service certification exams, this is the companion curriculum used in AppleCare Technician Training courses worldwide. The book starts out with basic computer theory and underlying technologies, then moves on to cover everything from networking to the nitty-gritty steps and diagrams for upgrading and troubleshooting six sample computer models." - Peachpit Press

"Much to my surprise, our book has done remarkably well. It has been within the top ten Hot New Releases on Amazon.com in several categories for many weeks now, reaching #1 in the PC book category at least twice. I would like to thank our readers, Peachpit Press for this opportunity and Apple for their contributions." -Marc Asturias

"I would like to thank everyone for their support and interest in this book. Macworld 2008 was a definite success, with Peachpit Press completely selling out of the title before the close of the event. Again, thank you for the warm response!"-Marc
