Hi Doug:

Another thought might be to post a list of the titles, and lend for
scanning purposes a copy of any titles not already available on the net.
They could then be posted for others reference.

There are several titles already on http://highgate.comm.sfu.ca/pdp8, I'm
currently scanning DEC's "Introduction to Programming, Volume 1" from 1972.
The other scans are courtesy of the efforts of David Gesswein.

Congratulations on your haul!

Kevin
