I don't remember where I got this, and it isn't really anything I would normally keep, but since it has Jim Butterfield's name on the cover I'm making an exception. Check out the pages towards the end of the book, they have some interesting reference material. |

Joe's 2nd Book for the C64 by Joseph E. Gordon - This book is a collection of tips, reviews and type-in programs from various sources. I'm not so sure this should be considered a book in the traditional sense because what it covers is so broad and really not in much depth. It seems more like a diary of things Joe has worked on or played with since his 1st book. All the same, it has some good information and references some interesting and useful software. Here's a link to Joe's First Book for the C64 |

If a COMMODORE 64 dies after the warranty expires the owner has the option of finding a local repair shop or sending it off to Commodore. Another option and the subject of this manual is fixing it yourself. How useful the tips found here will be depends on your electronics experience and resources. Even the most experienced technician can save a lot of time with repair history on a machine he has not worked on before. On the other extreme, some people may have great difficulty with the simplest repairs. Where you fit will determine how far you want to troubleshoot. This manual will be of use to electronic repair centers by bypassing some of the learning curve that goes with taking on any new line of equipment, in this case the Commodore 64. |

The Best of The TORPET was difficult to edit. Not because the material was difficult to understand, or poorly organized, or of poor quality, but simply because there was so much good stuff to choose from and squeeze into 320 pages. I started out with nearly 1500 pages of material and squeezed, squeezed and squeezed. Link - Program Disk |

The Modern Commodore 64 - by Payton Byrd. This is a neat little book that Payton wrote back in 2014. It would be neat to see this updated for 2023. Here follows the authors introduction: The Commodore 64 personal computer is still the best selling model of personal computer of all times. Introduced in January 1982, the Commodore 64 was the successor to Commodore Business Machine's wildly popular VIC-20. The Commodore 64 built on the architecture of the VIC-20, but was not backwards compatible beyond simple BASIC games that did not utilize any hardware-specific features of either computer. In 1982, the world had never seen anything like the Commodore 64 at anywhere near the Commodore 64's price. The closest thing to a competitor for the Commodore 64 was the Atari 800 which was significantly more expensive and lacked the incredible sound capabilities of the Commodore 64. The heart of that sound prowess of the Commodore 64 is the 6581 SID chip, which to this day makes the Commodore 64 a sought-after machine by the Electronic music crowd as well as modern sceners who create incredible arrangements using a single SID chip. You should really listen to this You Tube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azgZ5Qw8ass) to get a sense of what sceners are accomplishing on the SID and C64 today. |
