The problem with this book (if it's the one I saw

the computer doesn't interpret instructions. You have to do that yourself.
The book is very interesting, though, and the computer is pretty realistic.
With some extra logic I think it could be made into a full computer.
The last chapter is dedicated to programming the machine. I haven't tried
to build anything yet, but it looks at least semi-automatic. The program
is stored in (on) drum memory, and operates on data in core.
