I am new to this forum but was reviewing the melabs archives and found that last Jan. someone on their site mentioned a book by Les Johnson entitled "Experimenting with the Pic Basic Pro Compiler". Does anyone know where I might purchase this book?

Thanks in Advance

Hello to all and Happy Holidays!

I tried buying this book earlier this year but was told by MEL that it was no longer available. I followed Mister_E's link and saw the writeup on it but that's as far as it goes. I went directly to their site and the book doesn't come up in their offerings. I'm going to look on Amazon.com and see if they have any.

Good luck!

Crownhill still has an order button for this book on their website, but I'm fairly sure they don't have them in stock.

You could contact Crownhill directly for a more definitive answer, but my understanding was this book would no longer be published due to low sales volumes.

I have found a copy of the Book "Experimenting with the PICBASIC Pro Compiler" by Les Johnson in our engineering Library. ISBN unlisted. You are more than welcome to buy it off us. - Sold!

We also have "PIC BASIC an introduction" by Eric Edwards and Neil (Jasper) Roberts. ISBN 1-903719-02-X. New and Complete with CD. - Still Available

First come, first gets. Contact me off-list.

I have found a copy of the book and it has a CD ROM with files that I cannot open. Does anyone know what software will open the files? They are ".bas" files.

TIA
