In 2016 when I visited the Adelaide Retro-Computing Event in   
   Australia, I met Jane M. Voskamp (Jones), veteran Commodore   
   programmer and writer. Having seen her articles in Loadstar and the   
   LUCKI Report a long time ago, I was pleased to meet such as affable   
   lady. To my surprise, she also brought her 1994 publications which   
   were still for sale. With the limited amount of Australian dollars I   
   had, I bought 4 of her booklets, all produced on Commodores with the   
   use of the Write Stuff 128 word processor, GEOS 128, and a Commodore   
   MPS-1250 printer. The booklets were GEOS in Review - Reviewing GEOS   
   Authors Programs, the Handbook of Commodore Disks, the Handbook of   
   the Commodore 64, and the Handbook of the Commodore 128.   
        I find that the Handbook of the Commodore 128 is an introduction to   
   programming on the C128. As a sample of what to expect, the 45-page,   
   A4-sized booklet is divided into the following chapters:

   discount for buying 4 booklets.
