Book Graphics Programming Techniques on the Amstrad CPC 464 Price £7,95 Micro Amstrad CPC 464 Supplier Micro Press, Castle House, 27 London Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. I on't be put off by the fact 'that this book contains rather a lot of listings; it's far more serious than it first appears. Wynford James uses the listings to demonstrate various techniques that can exploit the CPC 464's graphics capabilities starting from Basic. From the very beginning -the modes of screen display and ink colours - he uses examples and hands-on experience to illustrate the theory, and commendably covers relatively complex topics such as Fill. He makes a logical progression through the problems and solutions involved in such topics. There are chapters on shape drawing, animation, graphs and charts and pattern making, avoiding the old myth that graphics from Basic will let you create arcade games or artistic masterpieces. It's a much more practical approach that will teach a good deal of programming technique.
