I've got the English translation of this book,

recommend it. Now, I haven't looked at it since back in the very
early '80's when it was a new publication, but that's because what I saw
wasn't terribly good or useful.
That may explain why there's such limited interest.
I remember wanting a copy back in the old days. Having since gotten
one, I would tend to agree. I would never consider giving it and no
other resource to a 6502 newbie and telling them that they'll be fine
(unlike, say, a copy of K&R to learn C by).
It's interesting to me more for its historical context than as an
actively useful book. It was an interesting read for me only because
I could compare what was in there with what I learned hands-on with
the PET and VIC-20 and C-64 and Apple ][, et al.
To reiterate: OK to add to an existing 6502 documentation collection,
not OK to rely on as a primary source of information.
