Well, I went through all the Amiga books at one time or another,
***foolishly*** trying to save a measly $10 or so by buying cheap
books instead of the right book.

Finally, I bought the Amiga ROM Kernel Reference Manual:  Libraries
and Devices, Addison-Wesley, 1990.

All the other books were a waste, compared to this one.  So what if it costs
a few dollars more.

I've said it before, but I think it bears repeating.  Commodore should
subsidize all the compiler companies the few bucks it would require
to be sure that this book is included with every compiler sold!!!
I remember when the Mac first came out, Apple gave many universities
the right to duplicate Inside Macintosh.  At CMU, every sophomore had
a copy.  This helped spread the word about how neat the Mac was (then 8-).
