Forth Literature Lists

Klaus has bought over the years all the documentation he could get hold of and built his library. If you are searching for a book, and it is not available anymore in print, your chances are high that he might give it to you on loan. See http://mcforth.net/

His current list¹⁾ as PDF: : klauskohlschoepe-mappe.pdf

There is a larger green dragon at the top level, and to the left a smaller black dragon - the Dragon Price.²⁾ The SWAP Dragon – as you find it in Starting Forth.

Juergen as well collects for a few years now books about Forth. He contacted the authors and got the agreement to reformat and publish them as eBook. His Forth Bookshelf has grown to 16 eBooks at the moment. Some are now not easily available anywhere – especially the Chuck Moore books. See his current collection at Amazon. Some of them written by Juergen. Here especially the Beginner’s book A Start With Forth, where most chapters are in this wiki too: A Start with Forth. Or they are his translations of German editions.

While the KKS and JP books are available, our stack of books is just a list of documentations and links, which is expanded as more becomes available.

Please add the additional material that you have in the same way - or send us an email with the data. The latest ones received are on top.
