You are welcome to scan the copy you have of my book, and submit the scan to
the IBM 1620 section of the bitsaver.org archives. Be my guest.
Every now and then, I bump into people whose first introduction to computing
was through the IBM 1620 and who did so using my book. Frankly, I am
flattered to have played a small role in the history of the computer
business. I live near the computer history museum in Mountain View,
California, and every now and then I find something in my attic to donate to
them. What I will not donate is a special, leather-bound copy of the book,
given to me by the publishers after it had sold a great many copies. Don
Dimitry and I wrote the book without any expectations that it would become a
best seller for its day. But it did.
Thanks for making my day and finding some use to what is now an obsolete
book, though it was a killer in its brief time ..
