I have both of West's books and the most detailed of the two is the one
on the PET (a lot of the stuff also applies to the C-64).  For
specifically a C-64, his book dedicated to that platform is the best
I've ever seen for an "under the hood" look at C-64 architecture and
operation.  For something akin to that detail you probably have to
browse through the Transactor mag issues.  Commodore's Programmer's
Reference is also good but hardly a complete look.  Keep in mind these
books are dedicated to the main platform, not peripherals like the 1541
disk drive (an exception is game/exrom cart operation).  IIRC Jim
Butterfield also produced a detailed C-64 memory map and usage chart but
I'm unsure where that was published.  Sincerely,
