Most of the Usborne books from the 80s are available on Usborne's web site as PDFs -- "Simple BASIC" (for younger readers) or "Introduction to Computer Programming" (for slightly older readers) might fit the bill: http://www.usborne.com/catalogue/feature-page/computer-and-coding-books.aspx (My copy of "Write Your Own Adventure Programs" lives on my bookshelf at work next to Knuth and K&R...) -- Adam Sampson <[email protected]> <http://offog.org/>
