I am having a re-org of the workspace and have decided to release a number of books acquired over the last 3/4 decades but I am in a quandary as I can't store them, don't think the local Cat's Protection League can handle them and I am reluctant to consign them to the skip. While I appreciate that they may not qualify as true vintage currently they will be before too long, like PL/1 primers were years ago when folks were skipping them. I have between two to three dozen (some big) and won't impose here by listing them all but they include such nuggets as 'Secrets of Windows 2000 Server', 'MTS Programming in Visual Basic', Kernighan's 'Software Tools in Pascal', 'Understanding and Programming COM+' and 'Developing Professional Applications in Windows 95 and NT Using MFC'. I have most if not all of the accompanying CD's. I am afraid my 'Introduction to Programming using Fortran 77' and 'Lepton and Baryon Number Violation in Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology' along with my Amiga development manuals are not up for grabs (cold, dead hands, etc.)
I can't expect anyone crazy enough to take the whole lot (but free for the collection if you like and welcome) but does anyone know anywhere who would take them and keep them for posterity? Just can't stand the thought of good books being destroyed. Please post here if you can help then we can take it off-list.
