ballyalley Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 last week some Atari documentation was donated to me. I looked around, I could not find this book online. Is the International ST Software Catalog from Atari, Winter 1987 available anywhere? It looks like this: This is a pretty cool catalog. I didn't realize that Atari made anything like this for the ST computers. Adam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marakatti Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I don't think it has been scanned previously. Would be great if someone could do that because it would be absolutely great research material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6BQ5 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 How many pages? Dimensions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballyalley Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 How many pages? Dimensions? The books dimensions are: 8 1/2" tall x 5 1/2" wide x 1 1/2" thick. I'm not sure how many pages the book actually has, as it uses an unusual page numbering system. The book is broken up into sections A-T, with each section being numbered separately, plus, there are sections outside of A-T that are unnumbered. I estimate there are around 500-600 total pages (this is based on an estimate where sixty pages is 1/8" (thickness) x 12 (number of 1/8s in 1 1/2") = 600). Also, this English book is B&W with screenshots of about 1/3 of the software. This book covers software in English, German, French and Dutch. There may also be other languages that I didn't notice.

Adam I'm more than happy to scan and preserve it if you're willing to send it to Finland. I also have the later 1992 edition that i'm going to scan this summer.

ballyalley Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 I'm more than happy to scan and preserve it if you're willing to send it to Finland. I'd rather send it closer to home. I live in the American Southwest, in oft-overlooked state of New Mexico. Surely, someone "more local" would scan it. Adam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
