# Microcomputing

The Sinclair blockbuster. You’ve bought the computer, you’ve read the book — and now, see the movie? Well, so far, we only have the computer — the $100 Timex/Sinclair 1000 personal computer that’s expected to sell to a million people this year — and the book, a mass-market paperback guide from Signet. Keeping enough copies in the library for patron demand will be quite the trick — and just wait until the movie comes out.
