It wasn't a book, but I clearly remember sitting around with my dad and typing in games from magazines (they would just list the source code on a couple pages).

We had an Apple IIe so it probably wasn't Ahoy, 'BitPower' or something goofy.

I remember my grandmother worked in a comic book factory and she used to swipe a couple different computer magazines for me that they printed there...loved those things!
