OK, now the interesting part... It's an 8-volume
book set called
"The Secret Guide to Computers", tenth edition. Popular BASIC(Vol 1),
Popular Systems(Vol 3), Popular Applications(Vol 5), Popular
Languages(Vol 7), and then Hassles in BASIC(Vol 2), Hassles in
Systems(Vol 4), Hassles in Applications(Vol 6) and Hassles in
Languages(Vol 8).

Hey, if these are what I think they are they're pretty cool, though I
thought there was just 3 volumes. Are they about 8.5x11, and .5-1 inch
thick? ISTR, the volume 3 as being a 'interesting' look at the computers
available in the early to mid-80's. I'm pretty sure I've got the first 3,
but they seem to have lost the bookcase space fight at some point and been
moved to storage as they're no longer where I thought they were :^)
