well, the CPU was the same for amiga500 and atari520ST, so having those 2 books aswell must have been the last remnant to read thru for that poor owner of all them books, as all of this looks like he never made it, he never understood a single word of any of those books, so he kept buying more, in hope to grab one with words making sense to him at some point of time ;)
just lol...who the fuck needs them many books about coding amiga?
i had exactly one COPY of some book as a textfile and started coding my first scrollers and copperbars after having had read in for about an hour! ;)
i think it was the normal one, everyone had, most-left; 4th (nah, wait, 5th, theres a hidden one!) from bottom! :D
Are these the books of a famous coder? Did he achieve anything through reading these books? I imagine, if someone actually read all these books and understood them, he must be (or have been) a great mastercoder.^^

Else this reminds me of my brother, he has a lot of books (about mixing, mastering, etc), great hardware and he always has the newest Cubase version and professional workshops for learning and using it, but he never actually MAKES any music with it. Because he has no time left for it ..... ^^

all those books, and all he really needed was the set of 4 Rom Kernel Manuals, 68k ASM User Reference and maybe "Mastering Amiga Assembly" by Paul Overea.

damn you autocorrect.

I actually typed:
all those books and no rkms?

... And then I notice the rkms in the bottom right! Doh!

I didn't spot them because my set are the ks/wb2.x set which are dark grey...

Impressive photo! But in fact you only need two books; The Amiga Hardware Reference Manual and a book about 68000 assembler.

Then... isolation, dedication, and a lot of time for think, practice and experiment.

If you cannot think out of the book you'll never do it! ;]
