Here are some scans of the Usborne computing books I own. Did you own any of these?
- How To Make Computer Model Controllers
- Usborne Guide To Computer Jargon
- Practice Your BASIC
- Simple BASIC
Puzzles, tests and problems to improve your skills.
I still have quite a few of these in my collection 🙂 They might be going on eBay soon though…
Yup, got them in Greek, still. Lovely books, though it was rather depressing to realise that BASIC is not only my CPC’s BASIC…
Would love to see your Greek copies!
Sure, here you go. BASIC guide-Programming for Novices and Programs – simple and easy to understand -Basic for Novices.

I picked up this one at a charity shop recently, I used to have it as a kid, great book 🙂 http://twitpic.com/4c74gy
I’ve never used an osborne or seen documentation, I’d love to though :o)
Stephen – I think you are getting your Usborne and Osborne mixed up 🙂
Still, I’d *love* to see an Osborne up and close 🙂
If it is of any interest I have almost all of them (as far as I can tell I am missing three although I just got one on eBay) and am slowly reviewing each one using my own 8 bit computer I have built: http://www.asciimation.co.nz/bb/category/usborne
Aw, thanks so much for that…
I have a whole box of these I have collected. Now I’m moving and trying to part with them but they are just too good.
I got the spanish editions and every time that i pick up one bring a lot of childhood memories, jejeje.
