I think we're on the wrong track regarding my original post.  I
believe Sean was referring to the original Applesoft I "Blue Book"
since he mentioned the "Red Book" as well.  Here's a quote from
http://apple2history.org/history/ah16.html:

    Applesoft I came with a manual that was 8 1/2
    inches by 11 inches in size, and sported a blue
    cover with square glued binding.[6] This came to be
    known as the "blue book" (recall that the reference
    book for the computer itself was affectionately
    known as the "red book").

Unfortunately, that is NOT what I've found :-( .  I've found a
reference that lists the hardware/software available for the
Apple as of 1983.

With a bit of web surfing I've found a few references to the
book.  At amazon.com, enter the search (use the quotes too):

     apple "blue book"

You'll find a few sellers for the reference book as well as
a couple for the original Blue Book that I believe Sean was
referring too.

I've also found a reference at:

    http://www.biblio.com/books/30649264.html

I haven't been able to find any online scans of the book, which
isn't too surprising given that it is hard-bound and over 1000
pages.
