The oldest such book on the shelf behind me as I type is the Conference Digest from the 1970 Computational Physics Conference in London. Plenty of good stuff in there (along with some typesetting techniques never to be seen these days - typewritten equations with hand-drawn symbols (such as the integral sign) added later!).
I no longer have it, but for many years I retained an 11x14 printout of the man page from perl4 (IIRC 4.036). This was the text from which I originally learned Perl and which I went back to time and again as a reference. Nowadays the prevalence of perldoc and the splitting of the one man page into many means that this approach is obsolete, of course.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
