Possibly... it doesn't quite match my recollection, but I'll order one and
find out. I think the book was a bit earlier, possibly an 8008 predecessor
to this book?
Thanks.

Assuming this is the book you're looking for, do a search on amazon.com
and you'll find 2 used copies available in their Zshops. Other used
bookstores will also have copies.

Scientific, but that's far from reliable. As I recall, the cover was black
and it was relatively thick. I built a 8008 system using it (wire wrapped,
with 256 bytes of RAM), but book and computer have both vanished since then.
I'd like to find another copy for nostalgia's sake.
Does anyone have any clues?
