This is roughly how people learned to write "Basic" before the internet.

basic language instructions manual

It's a magazine you would have subscribed to in order the hand write the program back out, you could make full games this way.

If anyone is wondering what a magazine is, it's a folding internet that goes out of date extremely quickly.

Back in those days, in order to download an app or a digital video you needed to write a letter with pen and paper to the creator and they mail a floppy disk back to you. Slowest API call ever.
