Greg Perry has written a whole library of books on diverse topics!

Indeed. Greg Perry is one of my heroes! As a technical writer and occasional fiction novelist, I have often had a picture of him typing on his laptop on my computer desktop to remind me that he offers no excuses for his handicap to remind me to ask myself what my excuses are for not writing.
The man has literally written a entire wall of books. He was also featured on the Showtime series "Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t" (season 5, episode 7) where he insists that the Americans with Disabilities Act goes too far in dictating how businesses must accommodate the handicapped. In fact he wrote a book on the subject (no surprise there) entitled "Disabling America: The Unintended Consequences of the Government's Protection of the Handicapped":

Just minutes ago one of Greg Perry's books arrived in the mail.
"QBasic by Example, Special Edition", a book of about 620 pages.
It will be interesting to read his presentation of QBasic.

"QBasic by Example, Special Edition", a book of about 620 pages.

An excellent book. It ties for first place with "Microsoft QuickBasic Bible" in my estimation. They compliment each other very well. In fact, "QBasic by Example" has a dedicated chapter on variable scope while you have to dig into the index in "Microsoft QuickBasic Bible" to find "scope" under "Variables" which references three separate locations. It's mentioned almost in passing in various sections of the book. So, between these two, you've got a solid reference library.

If you need to level down to newbie status, Greg Perry also wrote "Crash Course in QBasic". It's 272 pages, starts at square one with starting the program, covers all the major functions (except integration of other languages of course), and then ends with a chapter on debugging.
