Have y'all had much luck acquiring vintage
computer books/info via
library book sales?
Sometimes. There's an annual book sale here, with books from a number
of academic and public libraries collected together. I picked up a copy
of 101 BASIC Computer Games for 1.00UKP once, some Best of Creative
Computing, several books on programming languages, a few books on
microprocessors, computer architecture, and bit-slice design, some data
books, books by Marvin Minsky and others, and a couple of DEC handbooks,
amongst many others. Of course, it takes patience to sift through the
outdated Windows manuals, alternative "science", and all the other stuff
these sales have.
