That you have a far more useful library. I've also got several hundred

Personally I'd rather have books that explain how to use or work on the
hardware and software.
Such nerds. If someone wants to take the time to compile a list of every
vintage technical computer book ever printed then please, by all means do
so.
In case it wasn't obvious, the library I put together is for people doing
research into the history of computing, or who are entertained by computer
history in general. If you want to find technical books there are already
plenty of excellent search engines for that. Knock yourselves out.

Just want to voice out a thanks for putting this up.
Fantastic resource for wanabees collectors (like me) to flesh out our
fledgling classiccmp library..
What does it say about me if I have several hundred books on classic
computing and not one off that list?
