The Library

The history of the computer from mainframe and micro computers to personal and desktop computers in photos (with some text). Plenty of retro computing wonders to be found in these pages and I like the sideways horizontal spread format.

That’s very cool, Paul. I was hoping someone would make something like this. I didn’t know it existed. 100 $degen

Yeah, and the good thing is you can pick it up fairly cheaply second-hand, online.

My initial search turned up only used ones not in very good condition or new ones for tons of $$. I will look around some more or keep an eye out in case someone is selling one for cheaper. (I think Taschen books are expensive on this side of the Atlantic.)

They’re upwards of $50 CAD for “very good” used. 🫤The “good ones” mostly say they have marks in them (highlights and handwritten notes and stuff). I will keep looking.

Ah yeah could be. I saw an amazon/uk copy for £8. Good luck!
