Very cool, Peter!
I remember owning a couple of books of that style (although they were for Amstrad). What is better is that I had the translated version (in that time, I hardly understood “hello” in english), and sometimes they went so far as even translating the code itself.
Which made very interesting to type the programs, since I had to work out which was the appropiate instruction for my interpreter - which was an english one!
A bit crazy, isn’t it?

I checked that book out of my local public library at least 100 times during elementary school. I’m going to have fun going through all the old code. Thanks!

Hey Pete remember when you wrote the program for the old Tennis Game which used to be on the Atari on that old crusty labtop you used to have ?
