The Commodore 64 Omnibus is the one book every C64 programmer needs. It is both an introductory handbook and an advanced user's guide to this powerful computer with its superb sound and graphics facilities.

Pt. I: This book is a model of the way in which such books ought to be written...[the authors] have done a thoroughly workmanlike job in guiding the first ime user along the first hesitant paths towards programming.

Pt. II: Let us suppose you are an enthusiastic user of the 64, who is proficient in BASIC and would like to go further. You have examined Commodore's Programmer's Reference Guide but find parts of it too technical. You would particularly like to experiment with sound and Hi-res graphics, in Basic and Assembler, to understand the Basic Interpreter and to add a few extra commands to BASIC. The trouble is that you have been unable to find a suitable book to assist you.

‘Look no further! This superb volume is the very thing you need... This is indeed a book to dip into at random and explore in depth. It is packed with information presented clearly and logically, with several helpful hikes.
