Various Sinclair QL Books

[RWAP]

I have acquired a small pile of QL books and have been listing them for sale on sellmyretro.com

Have a look at the Sinclair QL books for sale - at least I have kept the prices realistic compared to some sellers on that other well known auction site!!

Talking of books about the QL, any one ever read this one:

Seems like a collection of wiki articles etc. Anyone read it? Seems rather expensive for what is a set of public domain texts - or have I missed something?

I've just bought a QL book from alibris.co.uk Some of their prices are crazy, but this one was just £2.50 so £5 in total with postage. Not too bad. (Would have bought it from you Rich, but you did not have it listed in your current collection).

This to me looks very much like what Dilwyn has already done here http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/docs/ebooks/index.html , however Dilwyn's version does not have a fancy front bluish page and its free to download in e-pub and mobi formats.

I have downloaded this and it is full of stuff, it also makes entertaining reading

Ah, excellent. I had not seen that. I'll download it for my Kindle tonight.

Wikipedia does not actually have a lot of information on the QL - I think their page on QL Software is quite laughable, but then I am not really sure why they have it - the page on Spectrum software would run to several 1000 entries....

Still maybe I am biased - I had my account on WIkipedia banned for self-promotion, once they realised that most of the QL software I was putting details on about, was now only available through my website!

Hmmm I don't think you were or still are the only one

What the only one to be banned? And I thought it was a personal vendetta - maybe they feel threatened by the QL Wiki !!
