I can't find a DEC order number - the cover has the little blocks
"digital" logo in the lower right hand corner (as does the spine),
and inside it says:
1st printing -- July 1973
2nd printing -- April 1974
Copyright (C) 1973, 1974 by:
Digital Equipment Corporation
Maynard, Massachusetts 01754
But there is also a "box" which says:
Additional copies of "101 BASIC Computer Games"
are available for $7.50 plus .75 postage from:
Creative Computing
P.O. Box 789-M
Morristown, N. J. 07960
So it doesn't look as though DEC actually offered the
book through it's own sales channels - at least not in
1974. -- anyone know for sure?
Regards,
Dave
