Subject: [bristol] Old manuals and the like
Message-ID: <5427-Sun08Feb2015151201+0000-jpff@codemist.co.uk>
I retired a few years ago from paid employment; I really need to clear
the space around my workstation so I can station myself to work (on
music). I have collected a rather large archive of computer books and
manuals from the 1950s onwards; I have just arranged for some of the
rarer items to go to a repository library but that still leave a lot.
If anyone wants any of these you are welcome, but they would need to be
collected from Combe Down or possibly University of Bath, and soon as
otherwise I will recycle them. List of items follows in no particular
order. Also got 8" floppy discs for PERQ, system and development sets.

John,
Can I suggest asking this question on the Unix Heritage Society list;
see http://www.tuhs.org/ and http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/tuhs
I suspect there are people on there who would be very interested in
some of this.
Cheers,
Andy
