Um, y'all do know that this was reprinted by Tomash Publishers
as part of the Charles Babbage Institute's reprint series for the
history of computing, right? ISBN 0-938228-03-X, also 0-262-23118-2.

OK, OK, it's not an *original*, but as a reading copy it'll do just
fine, and it'll probably be a bit easier on your wallet.

ISTR (somewhat more recently, like this year) that CBI was offering
some books in the reprint series as thank-you gifts for contributions
too.
