The book George is refering to is _The_Home_Computer_Wars by Michael
Tomczyk (a former Commodore marketing executive).  It was published about
three years ago by Compute! Books.  I do not know if it is still in print.

While the book is a capsule history of Commodore, it mostly concentrates
on the author and his tenure in the company.  You might recognize a few
familiar (net) names in there such as Andy Finkel and yours truly.

Note: George's disclaimer (above)applies to this humble poster as well.
