Scanning the shelves:

1965: "a Pelican Original" A524:

Electronic Computers
S.H.Hollingdale and G.C.Tootill
1965

Programming RPG RPG II
Harice Seeds
1971

Algol 68
a first and second course

Several Oracle 6 (1988) manuals

And so on and so forth :)

For some of my books, when I squint at them for just a bit longer than a second, I feel again the joy of reading them, understanding them, long ago.
