Computer Books

I'll have to agree on the library as a good source of books. I recently was looking in our library here at school and couldn't find a newer book on PC's. There were quite a few old programming/hardware books from the 70's and a complete set of an old computer magazine from the 60's to the present. Great fun to look at the prices and advertising. And they do sell them. My friend found a book on Volkswagens from the early 60's....$2. Just ask at the circulation desk. They don't have to be in the book sale, just old enough to be of no general value in their eyes. Another good place to look is the Goodwill, thrift sores, etc. Most of us probably already do that but I thought Id mention it. At our local store, customers trash whatever comes neatly in any box. (sad, the disks get thrown around and power supplies disappear too) When they clean up they just pile the manuals on the shelf next to the Danielle Steel novels. I found a complete set of manuals for an Apple III a while back. Tons of Commodore programming guides. Software carts and disks end up in the cassette tape section for some reason. If interested, I could grab whatever I find and sell to interested parties here for cost + shipping. Usually .50 a book + postage. I really don't have the room (or the time) to stockpile books. I just buy what matches the systems I have at the time or what seems rare. Greg
