Description

A beautifully preserved vintage copy of Z-80 Microprocessor Programming & Interfacing, Book 1, published by Howard W. Sams & Co. in 1981. This is the first edition, third printing of the original 1979 technical reference, dating to the formative years of the personal computing revolution.

Written by Elizabeth A. Nichols, Joseph C. Nichols, and Peter R. Rony, this technical volume explores the programming and operation of the influential Zilog Z80 8-bit microprocessor, introduced in 1976.

Book 1 focuses on Z80 software, including assembly-language and machine-language programming, with an integrated, laboratory-oriented approach to understanding microcomputer systems. Illustrated throughout with technical diagrams, photographs, and practical examples, the text provides a firsthand look at early microprocessor technology and computer education.

The Z80 played a significant role in the development of early personal computers, electronic systems, and embedded applications. Original technical publications from this period remain of interest to vintage computing enthusiasts, electronics historians, collectors, and those working with legacy microprocessor systems.

An attractive surviving example featuring its distinctive original geometric cover artwork and period retail price sticker.

Condition

Very Good to Very Good+ vintage paperback. Clean, unmarked interior with bright, well-preserved illustrated covers. Light to moderate shelf and edge wear, primarily along the cover edges and spine, consistent with age and careful handling. Mild age-related toning to the pages. Original retail price sticker remains on the front cover.

No apparent library markings. A particularly clean example of this early microcomputing reference.
