Before we start getting a bunch of questions about it - "the book" that
Dave is talking about is the Hardware Expansion and Schematics Specification.
You may purchase this book by sending a check for $20 to 

Commodore Business Machines

Attn: Kim Montgomery-Software

Also include a note stating that you would like the Hardware Expansion and 
Schematics Spec along with your name, address, and phone number.
