Relative to the offer for old computer books, a source to look is the local library.
I do volunteer work for the Friends of the Pleasanton Library. We get book donations
every day, sometimes huge ones. We gather these up and have a sale every six months.
Berkeley has a full time store to sell donations. Sunnyvale has a sale every month.
And often there are computer books and the occassional computer magazines. But because it
is impossible to sell anything older than a couple of years old, the rest are sent
elsewhere. If the book is interesting, I save it for Al. But he gets so many from others
like me, that he can't accept more than a tiny fraction of what is available.
Sometimes the quantity is overwhelming. We had a pickup load about 3 months ago. A
Programmer cleaned out his house.
This week, I got a couple of 6502 assembly language books, some CP/M books, a nice RS-232
book that did go to Al.
Point is work with your local library, and you might have access to hundreds of donated
old computer books. And software and games. That they have no home for.
