Were those those thinnish hardback editions... I have come across
PILOT, FORTH, and TRS-80 Graphics... No 6502 Assembly though, better
check there again...
A couple years back I bought a couple 64 games books from another
discount store, I could easily tell why they were so cheap, some had
doubled or missing pages, or pages upside-down... oops.

There are some things where you can never have too many. I find
Commodore datasette drives at a real low price is my particular
weakness...

I just got some e-mail from a user who was thanking me for the PET FAQ
and directed me to a page where some Commodore stuff is (was) being
sold, of course he snagged the 8010 (PET) modem before he e-mailed but I
may had added a few precious books to me library. You may want to check
out the site at:
http://www.puppetgallery.com/compucat/sale/c64.html
Besides some nice pics of what he offered for sale (I think the drives,
cables, and 64 software are still available), the main page has an
interesting history of the couple's computer experiences over the years
(from buying one of the first PETs to having Lenoard Nimoy call his
BBS...)

P.S. the user who e-mailed me also has a notable page, especially if you
have any interest at all in the history of Commodore 64/128 BBS
programs... Check it out at:
