This is an odd proposition:

I've got a 1st edition, 1st printing copy of 'High-Speed Computing Devices'
by Engineering Research Associates, Inc., 1950.  It's been sitting on a
corporate library shelf since 1960 (someone decided that it was old and
threw it out) and is in excellent condition.  It is hardcover, no
dustjacket, and has some library markings.  Description from abebooks.com:
"One of the cornerstones for a collection of books on computers. This is
considered to be the first textbook on digital computers, the first
compendium in English on digital computer technology, and a pioneering work
that influenced many computer designers during the 1950s. It provides an
unsurpassed picture of the state of the art during the late 1940s, and is
further enhanced by the inclusion of several excellent bibliographies."

Searches on alibris.com and abebooks.com put this books value at $200 ~
$300.

Anyone interested in a trade for Technic or Paradisa or a straight sale??

E-mail me directly with questions.

-Rob.
