Commodore 64 Disk Book: A Simple Guide to Using Your Disk Drive by Tony Hetherington and Gordon Hamlett is a programming book for the Commodore 64, 101 pages, published by Century Communications Ltd, London, with Personal Computer World.

An introduction to using the disk drive.

What this book is not

It is a programming 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.

For component-level data on the machine use Commodore's own documentation instead:
