Re: previous inquiry about Atari ST and books on it...

As a new owner of an 800XL, I have recently scoured the bookstore walls for
Atari books.  I have consistently found all COMPUTE! books to be excellent,
certainly among the best available on all aspects of the 800XL.  Their
magazine staff seems to be outstandingly competent at describing and
programming not only the Atari products, but also those of Commodore, Apple,
TI, and IBM.  This suggests to me that they will quickly become expert on the
new Atari and Commodore products as well.

I would expect any books they publish on the ST and the Amiga to be well worth
buying.
