Speaking of old textbooks, something people need to keep an eye out for 
are old parts catalogues put out by the large parts distributors of yore.

I have an Electrosonic Catalogues (Canada - 600 some pages of 
components!) from the late 60s and it is great because they have 
unarchived specifications on many of the early solid state and EM parts 
- many of which are used in older computers. One spec sheet I found was 
a comparison sheet of CDS cells that were common in 1969 and gave their 
range of specs - handy!

The advantage for me is I use these to get the specs on old parts that I 
am trying to repair, or replace with more modern parts. At one time 
E-Sonic had a few PDFs of these early manuals online, but they seem to 
have hidden them since the last time I visited their site. And I just 
did a bit of a search using Archive.org's wayback machine and can't find 
the year when they did have those on their site...
