About a month ago, Safe Harbor was still carrying the Devices and Includes/Autodocs 
books.  I'd very much like to find the Libraries book myself.  The 2.0/3.0 stuff is 
probably referring to the version of the book.  The last version is 3.0 even though 
it only covers ADOS 2.0.

Hope that helps,

Addison-Wesley told the bookstore I ordered from that they were no longer
being printed. So if you want one you have to buy from someone who's getting
away from amiga.

I recently (past 2 weeks) purchased the following from Software Hut:

  RKM: Includes & AutoDocs
  RKM: Devices
  Interface Style Guide

They didn't have the RKM: Libraries. I tried to order it through 
Hawley-Cooke. They told me it was out of print. I need to find this one 
also. I also still need to get the RKM: Hardware manual. Software Hut may 
have this, I didn't ask about it.

Therein lies the confusion, then.

Those books should NOT have been listed as "3.0".  They should have been listed
(correctly) as "Third Edition".

The most current RKMs cover 2.0x, with some preliminary 2.1.  There are NO RKMs
to cover 3.x!!  The ONLY 3.x information in existence is the 3.x AutoDocs.

As for where to get them... I was just in our local Barnes & Noble Bookstore
this past weekend, and saw 3 of them on the shelf, so they are, indeed, still
available to anyone who wishes to purchase them.

What is the full title of this book?  A new Barnes and Nobles opened up in my area, 
and I couldn't find a single book dedicated to the Amiga.  If I could get the full 
name of this one, I could order it.

Thanks,
