Dear colleagues<br>
<br>
While currently analysing microcomputer business advice literature of the 1980s, I am trying to establish the identity and background of the author of a classic in the field: "Home Computers Can Make You Rich", published in 1980 (<<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://archive.org/details/homecomputerscan0000weis/__;!!DLa72PTfQgg!I5kkjsuzKOnwploRyTn-aWfnV2ZxqY2p-ATvIzgmsLLA7yDcJiIeW7Cc0HeMFg7szNrdJFsiGEw6L8WzXuU$" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://archive.org/details/homecomputerscan0000weis/__;!!DLa72PTfQgg!I5kkjsuzKOnwploRyTn-aWfnV2ZxqY2p-ATvIzgmsLLA7yDcJiIeW7Cc0HeMFg7szNrdJFsiGEw6L8WzXuU$</a> >). The book is written by one Joe Weisbecker, and I wonder whether the author is identical to Joseph Weisbecker, the famous microprocessor designer many of you are surely familiar with. However, none of this official bibliographies and none of the obituaries list this book (that seemed to have been highly successful and was translated into several languages, including German in 1984). Also, the book itself has no author bio or any other further information about the author. Can anyone possibly confirm that the book was really written by Joseph Weisbecker?<br>
<br>
Many thanks in advance<br>
Gleb<br>
