I’ve just scanned the book, and I discovered it to be surprisingly
enjoyable and easy to read! No stuffy pronouncements! Just an
informative story of the days that Bil Herd was with Commodore.
After listening to Bil speak at various engagements and in various
videos, I found that the book filled in areas that were not covered
in the past.
Below is a page listing of what the book emphasizes (not including
the handy-dandy glossary at the book’s end):

Jack Tramiel – p. 12-15

TED computers (116, C16, Plus/4, 264, 364) – p. 20-49, 63-64, 72-74,
79-90, 93-94, 97-108, 116-119, 127

VIC-20 – p. 92

Commodore LCD – p. 119-126, 229, 254-255

C128 – p. 126-254, 257, 267-269

Amiga – p. 257
