I am now the proud owner of a new (to me) Commodore 16.
Unfortunately, I do not own Commodore 16 manuals.

I have tried several local book stores, but the "Commodore 16
Intermediate User's Manual" and the "Commodore Series 264
Programmers Reference Guide" do not seem to appear in "Books in
Print", so the book stores don't know how to order them. The
above books seem to be the only books specific to the 16.

Would you be so kind as to tell me how I might buy these
manuals? Is it possible to order these from Commodore? Would you
be so kind as to tell me a bit about the difference between the
VIC 20, the Commodore 16, 64 and 128? How similar are the 16 and
the 20? VIC 20 manuals seem to be quite plentiful.
