Do an eBay search on "TRS-80 BASIC".
There's one clown trying to sell them as "vintage" manuals. The others at
$3.00 sound much better. :-)

I think my wife rearranges my "stuff" when I'm out of town so I can't find
my copy to give you a ISBN.
My first programming was on a TRS-80 around 1980. Learned to program from
one of the TRS-80 books.
