Microcomputer programming is a snap with the Iasis Computer in a Book

This is a real wild-card entry from Iasis Inc. of Sunnyvale in California - an actual functional computer in a book, with surrounding 250-page instructional material in the form of a programming course.

It was built around the Intel [!8080] CPU and had 1K of RAM and a 1K ROM, providing a machine-code monitor. It retailed for $450, or about [[300|1977]] in [[now]].
