¢THE ATARI 8-BIT BOOKSHELF¢by S. J. Murray, NOSAUG.¢¢¢ Within The Atari 8-bit Bookshelf I will take a look at the many publications available for the Atari 8-bit. Over the next few issues I will bring you a comprehensive list of Atari 8-bit books published over the last 15 years. Not all of the books are Atari8-specific (most are) but all will help improve your knowledge of the world's greatest computer system and computing in general. After completing the list, I will probably move onto some book reviews. Why not send in a review of your favourite book for inclusion in a future issue?¢¢ The list is as complete as possible. In the first part below, I think I've come pretty close to listing all Atari 8-bit book titles which begin with a number or the letter 'A'. You'll be surprised at how much material is available for your favourite computer!¢¢ Many of the books which will be included in the list are now quite hard to find. However, never give up hope! I suggest you check out bookstores, second-hand bookshops, markets, computer shows, private ads, computer stores, etc. Also, check the database at your local library - they may have a few gems hidden on the shelf. If there is a particular book you want, ask a librarian or shop owner about it. With a bit of luck you'll be able to get your hands on any book on the list.¢¢ I've compiled the list from a number of sources including magazines, supplier lists, product catalogues, etc. Every book title I found is on this list. However, if you know of a book which does not appear please let me know so that I can add it and make the list as complete as possible. ¢¢ The list is presented as follows:¢¢BOOK TITLE IN CAPITAL LETTERS¢Author - Publisher - Number of Pages¢¢ OK, let the list begin...¢¢¢¢THE ATARI 8-BIT BOOKLIST¢Compiled by Stuart J.
