I take this trenchant opportunity to remind the
Assembled
Faithful that
www.abebooks.com
is, IMHO a rilly bitch'n place to score Olde Computer Books.
I have just today gotten my copy of "Digital Techniques for
Computation and Control, 1958... full of killer pix of cool old
iron, which will go to swell the many megabytes of scans I'm
I prefer to use BookFinders http://www.bookfinder.com/ because they
search Powell's Books, Amazon.com, Bibliocity, YourBooks.com, Antiqbook
AND Advanced Book Exchange with just one search.
My latest score?
"BRAINIACS: 201 Small Electric Brain Macines, and how to make them,
Including all 33 Geniacs (1955), All 13 Tyniacs (1956), and 155
Brainiacs (1957-1958-1959). Illustrated by Ann B. Baker. Berkeley
Enterprises, Inc., Newtonville, Mass. (1959). FIRST PRINTING."
When I received the book, I found that 3 of the chapters in
pamphlet form (published before 1959) were also included.
