	~~'''~~It is a ~~games and~~ listings ~~book, not a~~ service ~~document~~.~~''' It carries '''no schematics, no parts list, no component values and no board layouts''',~~ and ~~it is not a source for~~ a ~~repair figure~~. ~~Citing it for a capacitor value~~, ~~a voltage rating or a chip location would be citing~~ the ~~wrong kind of document~~.		== What this book does not contain ==
			It is a book of program listings with no hardware or service information; Commodore's repair documentation is in the [[Commodore 64 / 64C Service Manual]]. The 149-page scan includes the covers and a closing page from retro-commodore.eu, the archive that scanned it.

	~~For component-level data on the machine use Commodore's own documentation instead~~:		<pdf> File:PhoenixPublishing_Brain_Teasers_for_the_Commodore_64.pdf </pdf>

	* [[Commodore 64 Technical Manual and Parts List]] — the ~~drawing package, P/N 990439~~
	* [[Commodore 64 ~~Capacitor Replacement Guide]] — the wiki's component list, built from those two~~

	~~This is one of 60 Commodore books on this wiki~~. ~~See [[:Category:Commodore Books~~]] ~~for the annotated index, which groups them by what they are for and marks the handful that do carry hardware data.~~

Josh: P4 documentation drive: rewrite doc-holder as a real documentation page - printed title, author, publisher, year, ISBN and page count, what the book covers, and a plain statement that it is not a repair source, pointing at Commodore's own service documentation instead
