In 1983, Logo Computer Systems, Inc. (LCSI) published two popular versions of Logo. One was meant to be run on Atari systems and the other was meant to be run on IBM PCs.
The manuals and documentation for the Atari LCSI Logo are very well archived on the world wide web. The two I am particularly interested in are here:
A) Atari Logo Reference Manual: https://atariwiki.org/wiki/attach/Logo/Atari%20LOGO%20Reference%20Manual.pdf
B) Atari Logo Introduction to Programming Through Turtle Graphics: https://atariwiki.org/wiki/attach/Logo/Atari%20LOGO%20Introduction%20To%20Programing%20Through%20Turtle%20Graphics%20%281-sided%29.pdf
On page 3 of the first document (9th page in the PDF), there is a reference to the second document:
> First time Logo users should start with the companion manual Introduction to Programming Through Turtle Graphics.
However, sadly, the manuals for IBM LCSI Logo does not seem to be easily available. I found the following:
C) IBM Personal Computer Logo Reference: https://archive.org/download/ibm_logo_manual/ibm_logo_manual.pdf
It too has a reference to an introductory documentation:
> The purpose of the IBM Personal Computer Logo Reference is to give you a thorough understanding of the many features of Logo by expanding the information contained in Logo: Programming with Turtle Graphics, which comes with IBM Personal Computer Logo.
However, I have not been able to find a copy of this document anywhere. Do you know any place I can get hold of a copy of the document titled "Logo: Programming with Turtle Graphics" that is meant to be used with IBM/LCSI PC Logo?
The Library of Congress does not appear to have a copy in the main catalog, but that does not eliminate them having a copy in the technical reports department, though finding it through the technical reports department will be impossible without report numbers or other identifying information.
If you are looking to buy a copy, you may be in luck. A search for the title in AbeBooks [2] pulls up one seller (Sleepy Hollow Books, Huntington, VT, U.S.A.) for 33 USD plus shipping. It is impossible to tell if this is a copy of the IBM or Atari edition, though. You may want to contact the seller, which is possible on AbeBooks.
Good luck with your search!

If you are looking for a book a little less hardcore than the previous recommendation, check out Visual Modeling With Logo: A Structured Approach to Seeing by James Clayson.
thank you for the atari documents! i'm pleased to see many of the advanced concepts from microworlds (most notably multiple turtles, but also shapes were so much fun!) already there in this early version.
