Couls someone give the prices and/or the ISBN number(s) of the
Amiga documentation published by Bantam and Addison Wesley?
Or at least the *complete* names and authors (if any are mentioned).
Can the books be found in any book/computer shops in the Mass/NH
area? (I'm in Germany but a friend of mine is visiting there
in the near future, see previous note).

Also, have a look at a SYBEX publication called
AMIGA PROGRAMMER'S HANDBOOK ISBN: 0-89588-343-0
Author: Eugene P. Mortimore
It has a goodly amount of info re EXEC,GRAPHICS,INTUITION,WB,LAYER
and TEXT FUNCTION calls.

Thanks for the info.. I bought the latest AmigaWorld here on weekend
(they charge about $10.50 !!!) and it had short reviews on many
Amiga books... so I think I'm all set, at least I can prove my bookshop
now that such books exist! :-)

re: 282.3
Yeah, Amigaworld costs A$10 and is shipped over, so it is always
two months to two and a half months behind the publication date!

Thanks... it wasn't so difficult to locate the books here in Munich
after all, though not a single shop had all three of the A-W books.
No one so far has the bantam book.
