You never thought anyone could come up with more than 400 pages of things to say about file-handling on the C64, did you? Well, neither did I! We were wrong - Mr. Miller has done just that, and without a trace of padding anywhere.

Everything you ever wanted to know about files and data handling is here... program files, sequential files, those tricky little random access files, even more tricky bits of sequential filing, even a chapter on DIF files (you didn't know about DIF files? Then this is the book for you).

Of course, not every right-thinking C64 owner is going to want this much detail on planning and creating a database, but those who do are not going to find a better guide.
