Everyone on this list into real history should know about
the Eames/Harvard/IBM book "A Computer Perspective" its dated
(hey, that's good!), ranging only to 1950 but it's depth of "pre"history
is unmatched by any other written/pictures book I have.
Probably over 600 pictures, and good text.

It's still published, and affordable:

I got the Wurster book too. I agree completely with the reviewers
here and on Amazon. Pretty but dumb. C-

There's raves for this one on Amazon: "Tools for Thought: The History
and Future of Mind-Expanding Technology" by Howard Rheingold.
Anybody seen it?
