After reviewing many books supposedly aimed at Vic-20 users, it is refreshing to find one which does exactly as its title suggests.

Getting The Most From Your Vic-20 though written by the former Editor of this magazine, is not just a collection of his thoughts and ideas, but also includes helpful hints given by Vic-20 users in general (including contributors to Vic Computing and Commodore User). For that reason alone, this book is a must and certainly worth a place on all Vic users' bookshelves.

Many topics are covered, all of which should satisfy even the most demanding users - I particularly liked the chapters on the Super Expander, the Vic's printers, floppy disks on the Vic, and 'How to create your own Characters'. In this sense, Getting The Most From Your Vic is like having several manuals in one; and at £5.95 represents excellent value for money. If you want to understand what your Vic is really capable of doing, this is certainly the book for you: crammed with useful tips, a goldmine of information. In my opinion, it is the best book to be written on the Vic-20 to date.
