to add).
When are people going to realise that this is an international list, and
what is true in one country (or even local area) is not necessarily true

Heh, yes my thoughts went immediately to Half-Price Books here in
Dallas. The big one on Northwest Highway especially has many shelves of
computer related books, though I'm not so sure about vintage ones. I
was not going to mention it though as I don't know that Half-Price Books
even covers the whole of the USA much less any other countries. I
somehow doubt it. While I do have that advantage, on the other hand I'm
very unlikely to find e.g. a Beeb at a garage sale. :-(

Right -- you should be able to find it in used
bookstores where you are.
...they still exist, right? :/
Used bookstores NEVER carry computer stuff, too out of date quickly.
Nor do libraries.
