In message <40117UH2@PSUVM>, Lee asks about books for the Amiga, and
in message <895@gethen.UUCP> Mike recommends buying the Addison-Wesley
books, at least "L&D" (the fat one).  I would only point out that
CBM under Carolyn Scheppner's able direction is doing a major revision
of the A-W books, and that planning for said revision is well under
way.  And I've not seen L&D in the stores for a while;  has the press
run sold out?
    I think new Amiga programmers can get by with Vol. I of
Mortimore's book plus Rob Peck's Programmer's Guide to the Amiga,
supplemented with the 1.2 Native Developers' Kit from CBM (include
files, libs, and autodocs), at least until the new manuals are out.
Total cost of these is only somewhat below the A-W books ($70 or so),
but are much more useful to the new programmer.
