FedEx dropped off another 100+ books today and there
many in the cases
that I want to read but I pulled these three for now. "Heathkit
Manual for the MICODER II" model HD-1984, "Charles Babbage Father of
the Computer" by Dan Halacy, and "Introduction to Computer Systems
Using the PDP-11 and Pascal" by Glenn H. MacEwen.
How do *I* get FedEx to drop off books like those?
I did get two whole grocery bags full of computer books at Christmas
when I visited the BookHouse in Dinkytown (Minneapolis). Hadn't been
there in ages (live hundreds of miles away now). I got a half dozen
textbook-type books that are VAX related, and a few of the late-70's era
'desiging with Microprocessors' type books. Some Pascal and early Mac
books, too. And they were books out on 'the cart' outside the store, so
priced $1 each (or $5 a bag for the two grocery bags full that I
grabbed).
