I did a search at Border's website, and just as I figured, it seems to be out of print:

So I'd say you couldn't get it at their bricks and mortar either. I got mine really cheap on eBay, so you could check there for a copy.

I printed a bunch of stuff when I first started programming the NES, because I found it annoying to try and read stuff on the monitor.

Kind of unrelated, but do any of you pronounce 6502 "six-thousand five hundred and two"? I just say "six five oh two".

What are printers for...? =)
Eating your money when have to buy more ink as you spray it onto a page. As I understand it, if you want to read on a bus, train, or plane, it's cheaper to buy a professionally printed book than to print one using the inkjet printer that most major personal computer makers bundle with home PCs.

i can get ink and paper for less than 60 bucks and print hundreds of dollars worth of books

and still make out for less when i buy my binders and dividers and my hole puncher

If it's really really long, I'll just save the paper and read it on the computer. I like to avoid spending money at all costs (Padum pum symbol crash).

I've always pronounced 6502 as "sixty-five-oh-too".

Though most often, I pronounce it in Swedish, as "sexti-fem-noll-två" :)

Same here... but in portuguese, I say one number at a time: "meia-cinco-zero-dois", with "meia" (half, as in "half a dozen") in place of "seis" (six), as is common with phone numbers here in Brazil, so it does sound like part of a phone number.

actually i still asked in #nesdev and for catridge pinouts someone suggest ed mr. horton's "NES cart types" doc.

the book has some major ins and outs of the 6502 and some exercises. it'd be worth it if you do get it. but with all the documentation online, buying anything is optional IM"H"O

You know, now that I look back on it, I really wish I would have had a book on the 6502 when I traveled. I went to Florida a couple of years ago, and I really wanted to learn more, but I relied to heavily on the internet.

Well, actually, having a book on the 6502 may not have helped as much as just printing out the documents I read on the computer.

I say "six-five-oh-two", "roku-go-zero-ni", and "seis-cinco-cero-dos". Actually, I'm kinda kidding about the other two that aren't English. I know a little Spanish and a little Japanese, but not enough to say that I commonly use those two pronunciations.

best thing to do is just get everybook you can find on 6502. i had like 8 different ones at one time. there are so many. it helps alot whenever you get stuck or just get tierd of the same author. plus many different sources is best when studying a subject. checkout http://www.Alibris.com they have some pretty rare books sometimes for cheap.

also i found some usful information in vintage magazine like MICRO magazines and such.
this aught to keep you an everyone busy. http://highgate.comm.sfu.ca/~rcini/mags.htm
