Amiga Guru Book

Hi

I am looking for the "Amiga Guru Book". I haven't found it for online sale any places. Does anybody know where I can
buy  it? Does anybody want to sell it to me?

Regards

Hi,

I saw one go on UK ebay a few weeks ago - I think watching ebay like a hawk would be your best bet

If you like I could write a similar book for you?
Its time some of these old books were updated for today.

Although some of the complex stuff such as BCPL and Kicktags I cannot cover but I can cover most C stuff and using modern compilers eg GCC, Storm C etc

:-) I didn't see that reply comming.

I totally agree with you. Good, old books like the RKRM's and the "Amiga Guru Book" should be brought in to the future. If  not
updated directly, they can inspire new publishes.

If you are serious about writing a book similar to the "Amiga Guru Book" then you should do that - for me and everyone else!

Just lost the only one I've seen on eBay in a while in the last 30 seconds...grrrrr!

I hate when that happens.

It went for $56.  I think this book sold for $72 new in '93!

Someone ought to track down Ralph Babel, the author and see if he would update or reprint
(since he self-published).

Anyone know where he is these days?

I just found AmigaGuru.com - could be a good site for that sort of thing?  And there's AmigaBooks.org and also the Amiga Wiki (providing it's released under the GNU FDL, and probably better for tutorials created by lots of people).

I may be retarded, but doesn't Amiga forever have them in Guide format or something? I seem to remember either the RKM or the Guru book being bundled together with it.

@sprocket:
Do you think the holder of this page - babel.de - is the right Ralph Babel? If he is, he has interests in the German language and
writings to. Maybe someone can send him an e-mail about him republishing/public domain releasing this masterpice.

@Methuselas:
I don't know if the "Amiga Forever" holds guide formats of any of these publications (I don't think the "Amiga guru book" exists in guide format dough). But the "Amiga Deverloper CD" holds guide/html versions of the RKRM's.

@alx:
How does this work? Can the author alone decide that his or her writings shall be released in the public domain? What about the  publisher?
