Spectrum Machine Language for the Absolute Beginner (Retro Reproductions) Review: Great book - A great tome to have in your Speccy collection Review: Great starting point if you do not have any Z80 Machine Code Experience - I used this book when I was maybe 10 or 11, and it was great I was able to learn Z80 machine code and grasp the concepts of binary and hexadecimal because of the easy explanations provided in this book. More that 30 years later I bought this book for two reasons, number one I wanted to see how it compared to what I remember and number 2 I backed the ZX Spectrum Next kickstarter, and have been playing with Spectrum emulators and thought this book would be interesting to work through again. The book is a great resource, I have recommended it to people asking for a something consumable for an absolute beginner and this is an easy recommendation. Now, on re-reading the book and being an experienced assembly language programmer on a number of architectures I do recognize a few typos/minor errors in the book. But, it did not cause too much of a hindrance when I went through this as a child and I still think it is a great resource to get started. Thanks Acorn Books, for reprinting this book!
