Yeah, in the beginning it lists two ISBN numbers. One for the book +
disks, the other for just the book.  Though it's actually a small
3-ring notebook, so *cough* scanning would be pretty easy.

Following is the next section..

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK IF YOU DIDN'T BUY THE DISKS THAT COME WITH IT

We don't plan to sell the manual without disks as a regular thing, but
if someone is willing to pay enough we'd probably part with a manual
without disks.  This isn't recommended though.  You'll get a lot of
useful information and a lot of source code list-outs and a few program
list-outs, but the 4 disks that come with the manual are crammed with
humongous amounts of programs, machine language files, shape tables,
shape table creators, shape table sequence creators, source codes,
color graphics, utilities, drawing programs, sample games, sound
effects, music writing and violin programs.  YTABLE programs.. and
you'll get listing for only a relatively small portion of all this if
you merely get the book without disks.

The best reason to buy the book without disks is you have either no
computer or a different brand of computer.  The general ideas of what
I'm doing and how should still come through to you.
