The Definitive C128 Book List

The Definitive C128 Book List

Well, I don't guarantee that this is a complete list, but I've put a LOT of research into it. If you have corrections or additions, please join in. My research is far from done, but I thought I'd share it now anyway to get some feedback and input. It's in a comma-delimited format that you can import into Excel or a Word table or just about anything else you want.

There are 90 books in the list so far. My criterion for including a book is that it be 100% written for, or include coverage of, C128 native mode or CP/M mode. C64-specific books have been viciously excluded. I'm sure a couple of titles here are probably software packages. If you can confirm that for me so they can be eliminated, that would be cool.

Here are the fields:
Title = The most common title listed. There are variants depending on the source.
ISBN = The most common ISBN. Again, variants abound. There may actually be different editions with correspondingly different valid ISBNs.
Author(s) = A compilation of all authors from all sources separated by ampersands. Last name last, first name first.
Publisher = Abbreviated publisher name, i.e. Compute = Compute Books, etc.
Date = Best source for publishing date. Four digits; the first two are the last digits of the year, the next two are month. 0000 = unknown, YY00 = year known but not month
Price = Best actual 'for sale' price I could find on the Internet at the time of compilation
Citations = Number of references to this book that I found on 'for sale' or online library sites

Edit: List Already Updated - See Below!

[Blacklord]

Excellent list, but you appear to have only concentrated on English language books ? There are quite a few more (especially German ones for some reason).

cheers,

Lance

[airship]

Well, if I spoke German, I might add them.

Feel free!

Many of the Data Becker C128 books were translated into English and published by Abacus.

[airship]

After looking at my list again, I decided I didn't like all the gaps. So I did some lightning research to fill in what I could. Here's version 1.1. Yes, already.

An ISBN of all zeros means I couldn't find one. A price of zero dollars means I couldn't find one for sale.

[nikoniko]

I'll check my notes and see what I came across that isn't on your list. I know I can add at least a few of the Data Becker books.

[airship]

We might want to add a [Deutsch] tag after the title of German books. (Like you couldn't tell from all the funny words!)

I mean, I hate to be all English chauvinistic and such, but...

[Douglas]

Very nice list!!!  I'm so glad that you did this so i don't have to..I was considering this but you beat me too it!!

Bravo!!!

Douglas



P.S.  How many of these do you own??

[Douglas]

Oh, by the way, I have a book that I think has been omitted...

Title - "The Complete Commodore Inner Space Anthology"
Author - Karl J,H, Hildon
Published - March 1985
Publisher - Transactor Publishing Incorporated
ISBN - 0-0692086-0-x


This book is AWESOME and covers most Commodore models, including the C128.  Specific C128 info is a memory map by Jim Butterfield as well as c128 specific chip pinouts.

Hope this helps!!!

Douglas

[airship]

Douglas, your most excellent software list was my inspiration! Since my main focus is on collecting books for the C128, I had done quite a bit of research for my own purchases and thought it might make a good resource for others.

And thanks for the Inner Space reference. Of course I knew about it, and it's a great book, but I had forgotten to add it to the list. I think most of the English C128-specific books have made it onto the list, but it's still weak on the 'crossover' works that include some C128 information. Sometimes it's hard to tell. For example, I almost included a relatively rare book that reprints many articles from the early issues of Run magazine, but I didn't have a copy to look at. Then I realized the publication date was before the C128 was released. Duh. No place on the list for that book!

One thing I've thought about adding are the URLs for books that are available online in one format or another. Would that be a useful addition? That's likely to change as web sites come and go, but I've already got one volatile bit of information in there: the lowest sale price I could find. That's on there basically so I can tell if I've found a 'deal' or not when I go to buy, and I thought others might like to know that information as well.

[nikoniko]

Well, I'm adding purchase URLs for things in the (soon to be relaunced) PDF library when used copies are available online, and in the case of something being available on Amazon their API makes it possible to list current prices and availability. What I probably should do is expand the library to also include listings for material which isn't (yet) available for download, and we could work toward creating a complete taggable, searchable Commodore book database.

[airship]

I don't know what BookFinder4U does, but I've found their searches to be the most comprehensive AND they list cheapest first by default. They'll even tell you if the only copy for sale is in Japan!

[Douglas]

For example, I almost included a relatively rare book that reprints many articles from the early issues of Run magazine, but I didn't have a copy to look at.

Hello!

I'm curious, what was the name of this book?

Thanks!!

Douglas

[Douglas]

Hey, wasn't there some kind of book out there on programming in Basic 8?  I could have sworn that I had read that somewhere...obviously this would be a c-128 specific book if it exists....

Douglas

[nikoniko]

Download links for two of the books on the list:

Commodore 128 Programmer's Reference Guide (PDF - 17.6MB),553342924,Commodore Staff,Bantam,8604,$10.80,10
Mapping the Commodore 128 (PDF - 11.9MB),874550602,Ottis R. Cowper,Compute,8611,$38.98,10

[airship]

Douglas, besides the BASIC 8 manual, I know of two BASIC 8 books: "The Beginner's Guide to BASIC 8" and "How to Get the Most Out of BASIC 8". I've got PDFs of both, but forgot to add them! D'oh!

I haven't added the CBM service manual either, and it should probably be there,

V1.3 - I've only added a couple of books since v1.2, but I have added a column to indicate whether or not I own a copy. So this also becomes my want list, if you want to sell or trade me some books. But if you download this as a .csv file into Excel, you can use the last column as your own log. Have fun!
