Blackwell Scientific Publications, 1985. — 110 p. — ISBN: 0-632-01436-9. This book is more than an instruction manual on FORTH , for it attempts to provide information not only on how to use the language but also on the way it can be implemented.

Micro Books, 1985. — 128 p. FORTH is a very unusual and exciting language. It is fast, compact, and very versatile. A good FORTH program can run at up to three-quarters of the speed of the equivalent machine code version; yet at the same time, for many applications it is as easy to use as BASIC. FORTH is also a language of the future. It is available for most home micros, and...
Newnes Technical Books, 1984. — 148 p. — ISBN0-408-01366-4. F O R T H is a language that has, relatively recently, become particularly popular on microcomputers. The reason is quite simple: it is easy to use, and runs a lot faster than interpreted BASIC. Until fairly recently, users of micros have written their programs in BASIC because it is easy to learn, easy to use, and...
London; Sydney: Pan Books, 1985. — 239 p. — ISBN: 0-330-28960-8.

R. R. Thomas St John’s College Computer Science Tripos Part II 1995 The aim of the project that this dissertation describes was to produce a system suitable for teaching the language Forth. This would consist of a virtual processor, called Beetle, which would run an ANSI standard Forth compiler, called pForth (standing for “portable Forth”). The virtual processor would be...
MelbourneHouse, 1984. — 134 p. — ISBN: 0-86161-142-X. FORTH was the brain child of a man called Charles Moore.
