# Poor presentation handicaps teaching aids

Another book which will be of interest to ZX-81 owners is [The Ins and Outs of the Timex TS-1000 and ZX-81](http://localhost/book/the-ins-and-outs-of-the-timex-ts1000-zx81/), by [Don Thomasson](http://localhost/indiv/don-thomasson/). The book looks as if it were written for a readership in the States but it has some relevance in Britain. It explains the hardware of the ZX-81 and includes a complete circuit diagram of the machine.
