The Kickstart Guide is actually a reprint of all the issues of Kickstart,
the European Amiga Technical Journal published by Ariadne software through
a grant from Commodore-UK for European Developers.  Over a year ago I got
copies of the originals directly from Adriadne (though not cheap, at the time 
about $50).  Some of the articles are kind of outdated now, but if you want
to know more about AmigaDOS, EXEC, Libraries and Devices it is a very useful
addition to the RKMs.
