Jerry (capvideo) | 134 comments James S. Coan’s Advanced BASIC is listed with two hardcover editions and no softcover edition. ISBN 0810458551 is the softcover edition. I’ve uploaded the cover, back page, and indicia page from my copy showing that (a) 0810458551 is listed as “pbk” and (b) that the paperback copy does have 0810458551 as its back cover ISBN.

The title also has BASIC in all-caps, as you can see on the indicia and several pages of the Internet Archive’s version.

Note that my cover image is not nearly as high quality as the cover image on the Internet Archive, so you will probably wish to use that one.

Amazon.com has an image of the hardcover version; if you look closely you can see that it is definitely a hardcover (and the listed ISBN further down the page also matches). While a high quality image it is also on its side and fairly skewed, so if you are able to use it I have attempted an unskewed version.
