Hello,

It's name was ....... and was about basic the cover had a pencil, paper
and a computer keyboard halft i think it has on left down corner of the cover
and on the right paper and pencil, I remember very well it said no computer needed for the book ( but that didn't made me read and learn basic i still wanted a computer for it :D ) I think it was publish in 1987 but if not was during the 1984-1987 z80 era.

Hi Fewbytes

I am sorry but only books CPC specific or directly related to the CPC is covered in CPCWIKI. BASIC is a pretty wide subject (as this was built in language on most homecomputers of the 80's), and probably covered elsewhere. Where exactly i dont know, but maybe others here can help?
