He was careless. I helped edit the Z-80 book, and my late friend Phil
Hooper helped edit the 6502 book. But we might as well have started writing
from scratch -- these were in *galley* stages when we got them, far too
late to get all the mistakes. Yuck. And yes, Bill was both a real writer
and person who understood these devices in an intuitive way.
