I had a copy of that book. I loved the illustrations between the listings.

Creative Computing and David H. Ahl were huge influences for me.

I'll have to dig it out. I don't remember the illustrations. I remember working on a blackjack program forever. Debugging line by line. Finding my typos and getting it to work. That was one of my proudest moments.

Oh, I forgot all about those little drawings! Seeing this now brings back a flood of memories. Thanks!
