 These days, but I think 1983 is a little different. And
if a book is
successfull, why wouldn't they think about a second edition. The
compelling reason to save a floppy version is that they might want
to go back and edit something. 
If you wrote a book in 1983, had the second edition in 85, then they
discontinued the 8-bit ataris.  Now it's 1995, you're moving, and you've
got this box with an old atari and a bunch of disks.  You look at the
Pentium PC on your desk, reminisce for a few moments, laugh, and toss it on
the trash pile.  With your original manuscript disks.
