Author Brian Bagnall wrote a book about Commodore, from MOS Technology and the 6502 through the departure of Jack Tramiel and the Amiga years: "On the Edge: The Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore" (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/412006.On_the_Edge http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/412006.On_the_Edge). This was published in 2006.
The book was then later split into two halves. The first half, very heavily expanded, was published in 2011 as "Commodore: A Company on the Edge".
As of 2013, the faithful are still waiting for the second half, "Commodore: The Amiga Years". Bagnall missed his deadline for the update and has now moved onto another project. (https://twitter.com/BrianBagnall1/status/390845357979992064 https://twitter.com/BrianBagnall1/status/390845357979992064)
I re-read the first half recently while waiting for the second, and I thoroughly recommend it. As of yet I've resisted the temptation to get the 2006 book to see how it ends.
- vidarh 13y agoI ended up picking up the 2006 book used because of the cancelled second half. It's ok, but of course nothing like the full book treatment I'd hoped for. I was a Commodore user from the Vic-20 days, through a C-64 and then several Amiga's, so the first part was also highly interesting to me, though. Just hope Bagnall gets back to it eventually.
