;-)  (winking)

Is there any book that lists "all" of the software available for the c64?
(Such things exist for apple ][ and IBM)

Try the premier issue of INFO-64, last fall (I think).  It has a fairly
complete list of hardware and software available for the 64 as of that time.

I just recently got my copy of the Midnite/PAPER (#16)
which is a culmination of all software reviews from the
last ~six issues with some editing and updates.  This
issue issue is published under the guise of "The best
VIC/Commodore Software from the editors of Consumer Guide".
Actually, Consumers Guide hired Jim and Ellen Strasma to
write the book and include all software that rated at
least a 5 on a ten point scale.  The book is supposedly
in B. Dalton and Walden bookstores now.  (This is the
book I was talking about at Christmas time.)

The 192 page spiral bound volume is a good reference source
for INDEPENDANT reviews of software for Commodores.  Just
as good as the first time I read them, but this time the format
is a bit better - easier to use because they have organized
the book into eight chapters:  Word Processing, Business,
Home, Education, Networking, Strategy games, Arcade games,
and Programming aids.  Check it out, before you buy.

PS: Any Indy AT&T people who do not have a copy of the COMAL
disk or the terminal emulator (with termcap to run vi at home)
can drop off a disk at my office and I will be happy to make you
a copy.  Why wait for SIMON'S BASIC when COMAL is here today!!!!
Best of all it's free and I can copy 'em quickly on my dual drive.
