My recent scores from our local library include "Computer and
Telecommunications Handbook", "Postscript Language Program Design,
Tutorial and Cookbook, and Reference Manual" (3 volumes), "CP/M The
Software Bus", "Programming with Fortran 77", "Using the Osborne
Computer" and "Microwave System Engineering Principles".
Not bad for a bit of small change!

'The ARRL Antenna handbook'. 'Communicating Sequential Processes'.
'BCPL
-- The Language and its Compiler', and many more less famous works for
about 10p each.
