524 pages! With chapters on assembly language towards the end. That's what I call getting your money's worth. I had a Spectrum myself. The pack-in manual for that wasn't quite as hefty at about half the number of pages but it was pretty hard to overlook the possibility of programming when the keyboard itself was festooned with BASIC keywords. While messing around with a Raspberry Pi recently and fidgeting with the board which by default does not come with a case I noted that - while not quite the same because just looking at a board isn't going to make you an electronic engineer - having such internals right there in your face does stoke some curiosity, even now that I'm an adult.
