The picture of JaapSuter at exit with the book is comedy gold - he looks like he's just checking to see what he should do next in the manual :)

I hear Groundrush is also a good book. Haven't read it myself yet. The authors firstname is Simon, forgot his last name.
I'm not sure if the book is printed anymore?

I believe Simon Jakeman wrote Groundrush, which is currently out of print. Keep an eye on E-bay and one comes up every few weeks ;)

Groundrush by Simon Jakeman is (i think) a much better read than BASE66


BUT that maybe because he talks about UK BASE, and I have some attachment to the objects he writes about.................. :)
