maybe if you buy it new. It can usually be had for under $10
used from Amazon or elsewhere.
Really?
Seriously, What am I doing wrong?
Amazon has one copy of the 1982 edition for $176
and no copies right now of the 1998 or 2011 editions.
If I send you $20 each, could you get some of those "under $10" copies?
What's the difference between the 1998 and 2011 editions? I have the
'98 one. It's one of the few books on the subject I can actually lay
my hands on, as it's sitting next to most of my books on Valve/Tube
Amplifiers.
If my books were well organized and shelved, I'd probably have a
frightfully large electricity and electronics section between US Navy
and civilian books on the subject.
Since the original topic appears to be the Commodore 64, didn't there
used to be a book or two on the subject of repairing them? I'm
pretty sure I have a couple in my library (I know I have or had a
couple for the early Macs).
