Possibly... it doesn't quite match my recollection, but I'll order one and
find out. I think the book was a bit earlier, possibly an 8008 predecessor
to this book?
Thanks.

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.
