There was some recent interest in Adam Osborne books.
I have found one each of the following:
"An Introduction to Microcomputers Volume II: Some Real Products, June
1977 Revision"
"6800 Programming for Logic Design"
Make me an offer.
Shipping will be USPS Media Mail from zip 65775.
thanks

That book is the best of the set--it talks about chips that are only
now just a memory to many. I don't find the other volumes nearly as
interesting, but maybe that's me. I always did like reading
datasheets.

You may want to check www.paperbackswap.com - I got Osborne's "Hypergrowth"
book autographed by him to an employee even! Perfect condition ! Very reasonable price
& shipping.
Also, Amazon and Barns & Noble have services for out of print books by very
inexpensive reliable resellers.
Note - for the questions on ISBN numbers, they did not start when some early computer
books came out.
You could try the Library of Congress numbers.
Usually, I have found just the title & author are enough for a search.
I am doing a lot of research and these are some good sources I found for such older books
that are so hard to find.
All the best !

It's also worth checking ABE books (http://www.abebooks.com/ I think). I
found a couple of old books there that I wanted, and the prices were
reasonable. They haev a keyword/title search, so you don't have to know
the iSBN.
