There's a nice LSI-11 brochure going on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/291318103446
It's got pictures of a lot of different kinds of cards (useful for ID
purposes), a modest amount of technical content, etc. Definitely worth
having if you're a PDP-11 collector, and can get it for not too much
(I already have one, don't need another... :-)

That does look like a nice one. Lots of color photos! I've taken recently
to collecting non-electronic ephemera related to the industry i.e. IC
databooks, application notes, old copies of IEEE Spectrum, BSTJ, etc. So
far a fairly inexpensive habit to feed and the potential cognitive hours
occupied to dollar ratio is pretty high, IMO. Also much prefer flipping
through real paper versus a PDF when at the bench, etc. Always nice to have
stuff to read over dinner, too :)
Best,
Sean
