Books About The Sinclair QL |
Last updated: 19.03.06
Around 80 books that I know of were published about the Sinclair QL computer. These ranged from the "Learn To Program" type of book, to books about the Psion software supplied with the QL and to books which documented more advanced aspects of the QL, such as Sinclair's own Technical Guide.
Most of these will be out of print now, though you may still be able to obtain second user copies from some of the QL traders. If you are aware of any more titles which ought to be on this list, or can fill in some of the gaps below (e.g. the missing ISBN numbers), or simply spot an error, please send me an email to the address on the home page with the relevant information as in the list below.
Highlighted titles have a small picture available (some not good quality), so you can see what the cover looks like, if you want to watch out for a copy at a QL show, for example.
