I...don't think that's accurate. As far as I can tell, just about every significant 8-bit personal computer shipped with its own version of BASIC, starting with the Apple II in 1977. I really doubt that all of those were inspired by one book, especially since they used such different implementations that only the very simplest text-only programs could be ported without modification. |

That's the book I learned to program from, a compilation of games in BASIC published in 1973. I don't know the truth of the GP's claim but reportedly that book was very influential so there might be something to it.
