Best Commodore Amiga Books
I love the Commodore Amiga and I'm a little disappointed with the state of modern publishing about our much-loved Commodore Amiga. Fortunately, the Internet Archive has made available several excellent books that discuss the ins and out of owning your Commodore Amiga. Interestingly, I have even included some secret insider troubleshooting and repair books. As a start, I list the best 5 Commodore Amiga books that you should read.
- The Amiga, by Microsoft Press
- Introduction to the Amiga 500, Commodore Business Machines
- Commodore Amiga Launch Memo, Commodore International
- Amiga Basic User's Manual, Commodore Business Machines
- The Secret Amiga Diagnosis Guide
I get asked if it is worth going back and reading books on the Commodore Amiga or to just stick to playing the wonderful range of 16-bit games that are available for the beast. Without hesitation I always answer with an emphatic yes! There is no better way to learn about the details and architecture than to go back to the source and working through them for yourself. These books were not generally available at the bookshop back in the day and were often available for industry insiders only. There are also thousands of pages to work through and take a very large bookshelf to story. Nowadays, the Internet Archives has many of these books available to read online. They are easy to search and you can just dive straight into the section you want.
