I had intended to review this book myself, but didn't get around to it.
The `Anatomy of the Commodore 64' is indispensible for anyone who, as I
do, likes to produce truly un-portable code which takes advantage of the
built-in ROM routines in the 64.

I'd like to put in a small plug for Compute's `Mapping the 64', which I
also have, and which makes a useful companion volume.  This doesn't
contain a disassembly, but does contain brief (and apparaently accurate)
descriptions of the majority of ROM routines.  This helps in
disentangling the atrociously-convoluted ROM code, and also fills in some
of the gaps in Abacus's commentary.
