I just came across an extra copy of these:
The Proceedings of APL 6, Anaheim, CA 1974
&
APL79 Conference Proceedings.
I have these in my library already, so if someone wants them,
let me know, or I will put them in the recycle next week. I am
fairly sure that the York University Computer Museum already has
them, but if not, Dr. Z has first dibs.

I would love to have another copy of that, having lost my first years ago.
I could not really be called a true APLer. I was retained at the Toronto
development office of Reuters, formerly I.P. Sharp to assist them in
migrating their processes from APL to Java. The Toronto office was being
shut down and batches of people were leaving every week. There were waste
bins piled with the cleaned out refuse from dozens of offices and a couple
dozen copies of APL An Interactive Approach in the pile. I pinched one and
kept it for years before I stumbled into J and began my array language
adventure.
If anyone else should want the copy, I'm sure that they have a better claim
than I but I would hate to see yet another in the waste bin.

I have a copy of APL An Interactive Approach, Second Edition Revised
Reprinting 1976 by Gillman & Rose. I'm decluttering and rather than throw
it in the recycling bin, I'm offering to mail to someone who wants it. I'll
cover the mailing expense, but ask that recipient make a donation to J
Software of that expense. I learned APL from this book and from the manual
that came with an IBM 5110 computer that I convinced my employer to buy.
