[John Toole]

The Museum is well aware of the auction, and the very expensive prices
being asked.   There are some interesting items, although some can be
found elsewhere as well..

I actually intended to send this to the SCC listserv.   Apologies for
double sending to those who are receiving this twice.
 
Of high interest to CHM, especially the auction catalogue.  Pricey
stuff.
 
Among other applications, this catalog might be useful for market value
estimates (e.g., insurance purposes).

Christie's, New York on February 23
My library of rare publications, manuscripts, prints, and artifacts on
the origins of digital information will be sold at Christie's in New
York on February 23. This sale of classics on the history of computing,
data-networking, and telecommunications documents the scientific and
technological origins of the Internet. In 2002 Diana H. Hook and I
published a descriptive, annotated bibliography on this collection
entitled Origins of Cyberspace: A Library on the History of Computing,
Networking, and Telecommunications. 
Here is the link to Christie's website for auction of the Origins of
Cyberspace Library on February 23rd:
http://www.christies.com/promos/feb05/1484/overview.asp. The auction
catalogue is now online at Christie's website.
See additional information at http://www.historyofscience.com. From my
website you can download PDFs of our bibliography which describes the
collection in more detail than the auction catalogue.
