Hmm, the article is incorrect when it states that the price guide "collectible
computers" is the only one of its kind. In 1993, "a collectors guide to
personal computers and pocket calculators" was published.

In 1997, Guy Ball and Bruce Flamm published "The
Complete Collector's Guide to Pocket Calculators." I
own a copy and reference from it all the time. It was
the official guide of (sadly, now-defunct)
International Association of Calculator Collectors.

Of course true, but the values in Haddock's book are ridiculous.
Anyway, the fact that he got Micro-Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems
correct should merit a Pulitzer!

I told him about the 1993 book, but I think he's referring to the present
tense. The Haddock book is long out of print.
