Our friend Dogcow over at MacGUI City is publishing a new book about the Apple II!

http://macgui.com/newa2guide/

"Thirty-five years after its debut, the world of Apple II is still very much alive. New emulators. New hardware. New software. But one thing is still missing.

Where are the new books?

The New Apple II User’s Guide is the first book exclusively about the Apple II to be published in over a decade. It’s a book for every Apple II User, from the newcomer to the graybeard alike.

Covering every model of Apple and the latest developments, readers will learn how to setup and configure their Apple, program in BASIC, use the disk, graphics, and printer. Advanced topics such as networking and troubleshooting are covered.

Containing over 650 pages, The New Apple II User's Guide will be published as a perfectbound, trade paperback on Amazon.com. The tentative price is about $28."

I like it!

Thanks for the mention! It's been a looooong project. I started writing back in May 2010.

I just purchased the ISBN for the book. ISBN-13: 978-0-615-63987-1 (it is not assigned yet, so looking it up won't return any information-- yet. But I do own it!)

Using this ISBN, you will be able to order the book from just about any bookstore in the world, not just Amazon.com.

Further updates will be posted on my blog and the book web site.

Ah! It is about time.
I hope this book will get me further into Applesoft BASIC (I got stuck at a point because no books still exist to cover what was ahead) .

Hopefully so. The majority of the book is dedicated to BASIC.

The publication date is 18th June 2012! Keep watching my blog and the official book web site for updates.

This book is now available. Preview chapters are available at the link above. Check it out!
