   I have both of West's books and the most detailed of the two is the one   
   on the PET (a lot of the stuff also applies to the C-64).  For   
   specifically a C-64, his book dedicated to that platform is the best   
   I've ever seen for an "under the hood" look at C-64 architecture and   
   operation.  For something akin to that detail you probably have to   
   browse through the Transactor mag issues.  Commodore's Programmer's   
   Reference is also good but hardly a complete look.  Keep in mind these   
   books are dedicated to the main platform, not peripherals like the 1541   
   disk drive (an exception is game/exrom cart operation).  IIRC Jim   
   Butterfield also produced a detailed C-64 memory map and usage chart but   
   I'm unsure where that was published.  Sincerely,
