For
'history', I've got 'Automatic Digital Computers' by M. V. Wilkes,
which I will not sell at _any_ price (well, it's autographed, OK...).
Wilkes name!?! Yow... I have a 2nd ed of that book (paid $9 for), it's ex-library, somewhat ratty, it's a great
book in many ways,
Yes, mine has got the libray stamps on the first couple of pages :-(
and shows the pretty high level of software
sophistication in
1950. (runtime linking loaders). 1st ed's now got for $1500!
Mine just says '1st printing 1956'.
