StartingForth

In addition to Marcel's version linked to below, ForthInc has posted an online edition of Starting Forth which AFAICT has the original images.

Comments on the Web Edition

Starting Forth, First Edition is from 1981. These web pages were entered from memory in 2003, when it became apparent that SF might never be re-issued by the copyright holder. A small supply of about 500 books is all that was available in April 2003. When you can get hold of the original, do so.

This transcript is inaccurate. Forth code has been converted to the ANSI standard. Where necessary, statements that were valid in 1981 have been exchanged with statements more appropriate for 2003.

Starting Forth is full of very difficult to reproduce graphics. These enormously enhance the text's mnemonic value, and are invaluable for a first-time Forth user. I have therefore added "substitute" graphic elements, roughly at the same spot where they are in the original. The original graphics are, of course, much better.
