A.P.P.L.E. in WA published the "WOZPAK" book and then "WOZPAK ][". What is the relationship between the content of these? Is the latter a revision/update, an expansion, or a "volume 2" with entirely different material? I don't find scans of these online-- A.P.P.L.E. is still a going concern and they currently offer a "special edition" which looks to be an amalgamation but their site doesn't seem to clarify distinction between those original volumes. Does anyone here know? Thanks!
 
The following information is from a 2016 page at Call A.P.P.L.E. about the Wozpak Special Edition. I found it doing a Google search for Wozpak.

"Originally produced in 1978 by Val Golding and Dick Hubert of A.P.P.L.E., The WOZPAK was the first official technical resource for the Apple II computer. The WOZPAK and its sequel, The WOZPAK II, have been out of print since 1980.

The WOZPAK Special Edition combines all of the unique materials in the WOZPAK and WOZPAK II, putting them into a single volume containing extensively restored original handwritten notes, printouts and drawings from Steve Wozniak and other contributors. The original material was provided directly by Steve Wozniak and then Apple Computer, Inc. president Mike Scott.

There are also new introductions from computing industry legends Steve Wozniak, Randy Wigginton, Andy Hertzfeld, Robert Clardy, Keith Walls, Don Williams, and Wendell Sander who contributed to the original WOZPAK and WOZPAK II and share their thoughts of that time."
