I remember as a teenager in the mid 2000s my sweet old grandmother gave me this book she found lying around because she didn't understand it but she knows I'm into "those computer things". It was the manual that came with the TRS 80 explaining how to use BASIC. It came with some example programs. It was an amusing glimpse into a bygone era but ultimately I declared the book to be hopelessly outdated trash. I kind of wish I had kept it.

Was it this one?

My introduction to programming was this via this book in the back of my sixth grade math class in 1982. Been hooked ever since.

You might be able to find it here: http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com/

It's a huge repository of Color Computer and TRS-80 software, books and magazines.
