Found Abacus Books - Blue Covers

[Bladejack]

Hi

Hoping to complete off my collection of Abacus Books (Blue Cover Versions)

As far as I know they only went to Vol17 ?

I am missing / looking for

• Book #12 - More Tips & Tricks for the Amiga - Bleek, Maelger, Weltner
• Book #13 -Amiga Graphics Inside and Out - by Weltner Trapp Jennrich - ISBN 1557550522
• Book #16 - Making Music on the Amiga - Thomas Tai, Holger Hahn, Christian Spanik
• Book #17 - The Best Amiga Tricks & Tips - Bleek, Maelger, Weltner

I also found reference to the following books as also being part of the series but really unsure if they are ?

• Amiga Desktop Video Power - Guy Wright
• AmigaDOS Quick Reference
• Amiga Intern - Christian Kuhnert, Stefan Maelger, and Johannes Schemmel - 1992 - ISBN 1557551480
• Using AREXX on the Amiga - Chris Zamara and Nick Sullivan - 1991 - ISBN 1557551146

Let me know if you have any of these for sale or anymore information you can tell me about the series.
I have postal address in the UK and Ireland so it easy to get books to me

Thanks !!

Hi @Bladejack

Although not part of the "series" as you state, the bottom four books that you mention are all Abacus publications, and are therefore equally excellent. Back in the day I bought the AREXX book shortly after it was published and I used it well when I had my Amigas. I do have an extra copy I might be willing to sell. I am going to the 2025 WOC in Toronto this weekend and will be looking for more Abacus Amiga books to buy. I will keep an eye out for your wanted items.

That would be brilliant... thank... enjoy the show !!

I did find a picture of Amiga Intern , and it does have the lovely blue cover

I had the Amiga Intern book but cannot seem to locate it at the moment. It was another indispensable volume. Also, just found this... but I don't remember using it much as it didn't offer much more than the standard Amiga books that came with the OS, and it was kind of pointless after 2.0 came out..

Hey @Bladejack, look what I have for you...

The Amiga Desktop Video Power comes with the floppy still sealed in its' pouch. All the rest are without floppies (if they originally came with one). I guess if you want to DM me your mailing address I can see how much it will be to send these to you. I will also let you know how much I want for them - don't worry, it is a heck of a lot less than ebay or AbeBooks. If you want one of my copies of Using AREXX on the Amiga - Chris Zamara and Nick Sullivan - 1991 - ISBN 1557551146, let me know.

Update - Amiga Graphics Inside & Out has been found I hope, found on eBay but wont have it until Mid Jan 2026.
