• Commodore History Book Recommendation

    From Jeffrey Brace@3:770/3 to All on Sunday, September 27, 2020 11:58:57
    Hello everyone,

    I am looking for suggestions on books about Commodore history. I already know about Brian Bagnell's books (Commodore: On The Edge), but unfortunately his book is hard to find these days and seems out of print.

    Does anyone have an alternative suggestion?

    Thanks!

    Wikipedia has a page covering Commodore.

    "The Home Computer Wars" by Michael S. Tomczyk. "An insider's account
    of Commodore and Jack Tramiel".

    It's downloadable from DLH's Commodore archive: http://69.60.118.202/generic/generic-books.htm

    Or alternatively I don't think I paid very much for a second-hand
    copy.
