Out of curiosity, does anyone know anything about this
publisher?
They apparently existed in the late 70?s and early 80?s. They were
apparently located in Beaverton, Oregon in the same business park, on
Nimbus, where Norvac Electronics was. They obviously published some
very strange computer books, including what looks to be a teen romance.
I find myself with an embarrassingly nice little collection of the
books, that my Dad apparently had. Considering I think he touched a
computer twice in his life, they?re something of a mystery.
Best title, ?Nailing Jelly to a Tree?, which is apparently a book on
Software.
The publisher sounds vaguely familiar, and I think I might have one
or two other
books from them in my collection.
Cool question! I remember them as a publisher of computer books back in
the day. Never realized they were local (I live about a block from
there now!).
Apparently a large line of children's classics, too.
I may not have any of their stuff, though. Their heyday seems have
overlapped my "poor college student" phase, rather than my book
acquisition phase.

I miss the OMSI of old.
