Hi Doug:
Another thought might be to post a list of the titles, and lend for
scanning purposes a copy of any titles not already available on the net.
They could then be posted for others reference.
There are several titles already on http://highgate.comm.sfu.ca/pdp8, I'm
currently scanning DEC's "Introduction to Programming, Volume 1" from 1972.
The other scans are courtesy of the efforts of David Gesswein.
Congratulations on your haul!

Lucky me. I went home with a box of old DEC paperbacks
today. A nice
assortment of PDP-8, PDP-11 and VAX titles. I don't do DEC (I remember
cherishing the honor of powering-down our development VAXen for the last
time), but the books are small, so I plan to get them all signed by Gordon
Bell at VCF next weekend and stash them away for 100 years or so.
Except for one. This one is not only rare, but seems to be full of useful
info: VAX-11/750 Level II Student Workbork (For Internal Use Only). This
looks like it would be great for somebody who wants a pretty deep
understanding of the VAX architecture, including microcode, the WCS,
unibus, the works. I'm not good at estimating page count, but it's
double-sided 8.5x11x2". If some DEC-head could use this, let me know.
Offer me a trade of, say, your spare Intel MCS-4 manual and it's yours :-)
