Hello, all:
I want to begin my quest for a copy of the Apple II "Red Book."
If anyone has a copy and can tell me if it has an ISBN number on it, and
what that number is, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

ISBN Number? That's pretty funny. Have you ever seen a
"Red Book"? There isn't even a copyright notice!
The title page says:
APPLE II
Reference Manual
January 1978
Apple Part No. 030-0004-00
APPLE Computer Inc.
10260 Bandley Dr.
Cupertino, CA

Rich,
Being a real low budget production, the original Apple II Reference
Manual--a.k.a. "Red Book" because it's a big, red, 8.5x11 manuscript--has
no ISBN number. The only number on it is an Apple part number:
030-0004-00.
Did you know there was a "Blue Book"? It's the original Applesoft
Reference Manual done up in the same sketchy manner as the Red Book only
with a blue cover.
At any rate, not terribly easy to find but they do come up for sale on
eBay from time to time, albeit at horrendous prices. All I remember is
seeing some go for $100+.

The Red Book was an "internal" document, (at the time) available only to
Apple engineers and a few select dealers. IIRC, it was written by Woz
as a reference for Apple's engineering dept. Someone (Dr. Tom of
comp.sys.apple2 fame (or infamy, depending on your POV)) recently
scanned the entire thing and posted it on his website. If you're
interested, I'll see if I can dig up the URL and post it here.
