I have a stack of prehistoric computing books which I have rescued from untimely incineration. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure if they are likely to be of any use/interest to anybody... if they're potentially desirable objects I'd quite like to make a couple of quid out of them on eeeeeeeBay, as sort of compensation for lugging the buggers home on my bike (they were heavy!), but if they're only going to make pennies I'd be happy to just release them into the wild. Any opinions?

I'd be interested in Russell, Davis & Hughes, Thompson, and Snow; for those, I'd pay maybe a few quid each,

For the Turner, I'd pay up to a tenner, but then, I'm a Turner fanboy...

That reminds me, I have a copy of "Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools" (Aho, Sethi & Ullman) here which I believe was intended for you... (it certainly wasn't intended for me!)
