[SCC_Active_Members] The 25 favorite Computer Science Books from ACM

[Randall Neff]

Well, I tried about half the book authors in "Search the Collection"
and found none of the books.
http://archive.computerhistory.org/search/

And when I go to the "Reading Room",
http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/readingRoom/
the link to   "Reference Library" points to the very same page,
a circular link.

Sigh.
