Knuth's 'The Art of Computer Programming'
is, IMHO, well
worth reading (and I say that even though I am not a programmer). Yes, I
have the first version of it, the 3 volumes that were published. And I've
even read most of them.
I still think finding what appears to be a first edition of 'Automatic
Digital Computers' for 30p beats it...
A first edition? Without a doubt. At 30 quid it beats it -- beats
it like it owed it money. Even ignoring the topic, it's an incredibly
rare book. A most excellent score, Tony!
