The Spanish translations of McCracken show up occasionally at the flea
markets, but not very often. The cover looks the same, other than the
difference in title. My colleague with the FORTRAN book won't be back
until December. I'll ask her if she is willing to part with it, but since
she has kept all of her old APL and RPG books, I doubt it.
A quick search on
abebooks.com turned up a bunch of German books, one
Italian, one Romanian!, and only one Spanish one (kinda expensive!):

My Fortran 77 Programming (c) 1978 book is still sitting here on a shelf.
It's by Brainerd, Goldberg, and Gross. Is that valuable?
How about this one: Introduction to Programming, 2nd ed, September 1970,
Digitial PDP-8 Series.
