From the Bookshelf: CoCo: The Colorful History of Tandy's Underdog Computer

I took particular interest in the news there was going to be a new book written about the Radio Shack/Tandy Color Computer, the "home computer" my family settled on and stuck with in the wide-open days of the 1980s. The book would be written by Boisy G. Pitre, who's had a long connection to the Color Computer community, and Bill Loguidice, who takes a wider perspective in the subject of these old computers. It also seemed significant the book was being published by a "real publisher" where some other recent books on different computers were more "self-published." When my own copy arrived after much waiting, though, I discovered its signatures had been mixed up so that it seems to make a sudden leap years forward and then fall back in time to where it had been. On deciding I'd try and exchange it, I got a message back saying it was out of stock and could only be returned for a refund, so I decided to keep the mixed-up copy. It was still interesting for all of that, of course, but in its numerous details and "inside information" I did find myself asking new questions.
