Scelbi "8080" Software Gourmet Guide and Cookbook.

Assuming this is the book you're looking for, do a search on amazon.com
and you'll find 2 used copies available in their Zshops. Other used
bookstores will also have copies.

> Around 1974-6 I had a book that covered 8008 system design, in a kind of cookbook fashion. I'm thinking it might have been published by Ohio Scientific, but that's far from reliable. As I recall, the cover was black and it was relatively thick. I built a 8008 system using it (wire wrapped, with 256 bytes of RAM), but book and computer have both vanished since then. I'd like to find another copy for nostalgia's sake.
