I am one of those 217. But as I also have the dead tree version of the English Guru book I don't consider myself a pirate. I actually wanted to see what all the hype was about.
And no, I'm not selling the dead tree version; the book is not in a sellable state anymore anyway :)

So Fats, as someone who owns a copy of the first edition of the Amiga Guru Book can you tell me the sections you found the most useful? Or perhaps the whole book is full of useful information you can't get elsewhere? Just curious.


I would be the part about the history of BCPL with amigaDOS and how it lead to the BPTR/BSTR implementation. Also the section about packets and handlers together with the example handler I found very interesting.
