[Coco] Bill Barden's "Connecting the CoCo to the real world" book available?

[Alexander Wallace]

It sounds like a great book, that will probably be very hard to find!

I’ve posted to the thread I found where someone mentions having it, in hopes they may still.

This is great information, thanks a lot!

Tandy ended up NOT releasing it even after he had announced it. He was pretty ticked off with Tandy and fell out of the CoCo world for several years. He was known to have a bit of an ego...
