I'm sending the lot to the bargain room ($0.10/ea I think). This is perhaps unfortunately typical. I did look through the whole box, just in case there was an Altair issue of Poptronics, or some old 1960s Datamation, but no. (It wasn't likely.) If you want to get some idea of what's going to be on the main sale room shelves for Saturday's sale, look at <http://www.friendspaloaltolib.org/bookshelves.aspx>. Those pictures were taken on Sunday. I've put some more stuff out since then. -Frank McConnell (yeah, I'm the guy who does the computer section, and I'm there now)
