Used bookstores NEVER carry computer stuff, too out of
date quickly.
In the last 6 months, I have gotten the following from used book stores:
Programming Languages: History and Fundamentals - Jean E Sammet
Software Engineering with ADA - Grady Booch
Logic System Design Handbook (1972 edition) - DIGITAL
Smalltalk-80 the language - Adele Goldberg and David Robinson
Fortran-77 for Engineers and Scientists - Larry Nyhoff and Sanford Leestma
Minicomputers: Hardware, Software and Applications - IEEE press, edited by
James D Schoeffler and Ronald H Temple
None of these were stores specialising in engineering books - just
perfectly ordinary second hand bookstores. You have to spend some time
looking, but there are plenty of good used computer books out there.
