FWIW Amazon lists used copies of ISBN-13 978-0932376121 around $100. I
bought a used copy a couple of years ago that turned out to be an
ex-library copy. Don't think I paid too much at the time. Still haven't
gotten around to looking at it much.
One of my ongoing wish projects is to learn to
program a pdp-10 so I can
port Frotz to it.
The canonical textbook is Ralph Gorin's _Introduction to DECSYSTEM-20
Assembly Language Programming_ (Digital Press, 1981). Lots of examples,
well thought out presentation.
It's a shame that Ralph's book has become so rare. (Seriously, who
does the seller asking $1,441.25 for a copy think he's talking to???)
Probably remaindered in the 1990s at any library that had a copy.
