The second volume was the _programming languages_ handbook.

I'm afraid I can't speak to that... when I first used a pdp-8, it was
with 4k and an ASR33 -- it took too long to load editor, then assembler,
then linker by low speed paper tape, so we learned really quickly
how to hand-code and toggle the programs in through the front panel.
