Very interesting book........ A Ladybird book first published in 1971 and revised in 79...... The site shows the pages from both versions so you can compare the changes in diagrams and technology between 71 and 79.
Some pictures didnt render but I discovered if I clicked the box with the X on those ones,the picture then loaded.........

Don't remember this particular book. Love Ladybird books though, they used to be printed locally.

The BBC on iPlayer have old episodes of "The Computer Programme" from the 80s.

Thanks, interesting to note, but I have set out, if I feel fine, to check two bookshops tomorrow.

At a full range of prices, and different publications of the same titled book.
