FS: Various Amiga Manuals & Books
« on: February 22, 2011, 01:09:14 AM »
I've just been going through my big bookshelf of manuals and pulling out all my old duplicates.  I don't want to toss them because I know someone may be looking a copy so I thought I'd post a list what I have.  I don't really want anything for them except for coverage for the shipping costs.

So here's the list:

Official AmigaOS 3.0 User's Guides
   - includes, "Workbench 3.0", "AmigaDOS", and "ARexx"
   - all in pristine condition, copyright 1992

Final Copy
   - Coilbound, copyright 1990, pristine condition

Final Writer (x2)
   - both in pristine condition, copyright 1995

Final Writer Release 5 User Manual Addendum
   - pristine condition, copyright 1995

Amiga Basic
   - slightly worn but still in VERY good shape considering its age
   - Copyright 1985

Monitor 1940/42 User's Guide
   - great condition (cover is only very slightly dirty), copyright 1992

1950 Multiscan Color Monitor User's Guide
   - pristine condition, copyright 1989

Programmer's Guide to the Amiga
   - Pages are in pristine condition but cover is slightly worn with a dark brown discoloration across the very bottom (~1/2 inch) of cover
   - copyright 1987 by SYBEX Inc., written by Robert A. Peck

Amiga C for Advanced Programmers
   - pages are in REALLY good condition but with worn corners
   - sides of book are slightly dirty but page surfaces are clean
   - front and back covers are in POOR condition with rips and folds. Back cover has complete come off the the spine and a small piece of tape is holding the front cover on (I can ship it as-is or use some packing tape to tape the cover back on more properly is desired)
   - the VERY first page of the book (containing the copyright information) is missing but all other pages are present
   - copyright 1989 by Abacus

Finally, not really an "Amiga" book, I have a USRobotics Sportster 14,400 FAX manual if anyone wants.

If anyone's interested in any of these books, please pmail me with your info and I'll try to reply with the shipping costs as soon as possible.

I'd be interested in a finalwriter with FW5 addendum.

Where are you located?

Would that AmigaOS manual cover Workbench 3.1 as well?

I'm located in Brampton, Ontario, btw, so shipping shouldn't be that expensive.
