The > expensive special edition differs from the regular edition only in: A > different color of cover, the addition of a big fat rubber band, and the > inclusion of an actual punched card from my stock of spare cards. > > The IBM archives also provided lots of content and there are some essays by > others. It's a nice coffee table book, and a good way for me to make the > content of my punched card collection more widely available. > > It definitely counts as an art book, not a technical reference, but still, it > seems at least tangentially relevant here. > > Doug Jones > jo...@cs.uiowa.edu > > PS: They paid me, if you can call it that, with a few copies of the regular > edition. I don't expect any royalty checks as a result of the astounding > sales bump this e-mail will certainly produce as people rush to buy a useless > but pretty book. > > PPS: Yes, if you really want to, you may forward this e-mail anywhere you > want. Don't bother asking my permission.
