Resting home for old programming texts
-
I've been having a clear-out and have turned up a load of (50+) old programming books/missing manuals from the late 80's/Early 90's. I'm loathed to simply throw books away, but I can't imagine they'd be of any use to anyone. So, apart from the bin, does anyone know of any charity or organisation that would take them?
2.7 seconds - the time between having a skip delivered and someone dumping a rotten mattress in it.
I have all my college programming books (mid-80s to early 90s); some easily accessible on a book shelf, others boxed up. And just last year I bought books on the 8080 (garage sale) and 8086 (ebay).

I tried to take about a suitcase full of OS/2 manuals to the Library near where I live, and I wa informed that their policy was not to accept computer books more than two years old. I didn't try ,y old IBM Mainframe books nor my Motorola 6800 assembler books! :-)

I'm impressed. Not too long ago around here I was still seeing NT4 books for sale in bargain bins. Pretty sure I even saw an OS/2 book in there..

You never know when a good text on assembly language might come in handy. You'd hate to throw something like that out. :)
Indeed. I'm still looking for a good physical ASM book. If you have any....
