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:

Who Means What

Built-in Sprite Designer
Disk Commands
Base Conversion Tutorial
BASIC 7.0 Memory Usage
Start & End of BASIC 7.0

Monitor Utility - How to Use It
Assembly Language Mnemonics

Complete Text Memory Maps

The price of the Handbook of Commodore 128 was $15 AUD, but she gave me a
discount for buying 4 booklets.
     Her other available products were:
