Well, I tried about half the book authors in "Search the Collection"<br>
and found none of the books.<br>
<a href="http://archive.computerhistory.org/search/">http://archive.computerhistory.org/search/</a><br>
<br>
And when I go to the "Reading Room", <br>
<a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/readingRoom/">http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/readingRoom/</a><br>
the link to "Reference Library" points to the very same page, <br>
a circular link.<br>
<br>
Sigh.<br>

6700 books and manuals that have been cataloged to date. Over 1000 of them are
currently searchable on our website and within a month all 6700 titles will be
searchable. Paula is currently cleaning up the records for these titles before
they are made public. While there are a number of titles listed more than once
on this spreadsheet most listings for identical editions have been removed, but
do not fear we have multiple copies of most important works. We are continuously
cataloging more books and manuals and these newly cataloged titles will be added
to those searchable on the webpage.</span></font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I checked CHM's library
this morning, and found<br>
the following (just the library, not every gosh-darn<br>
cubical) I didn't check editions, but should point<br>
out a couple of the books are paperback reprints<br>
and not the "collectable" hardcovers.<br>
<br>
CHM library has 13.5 books<br>
Visible Storage has 1 book<br>
Possibly in the Apple stuff downstairs 1 book<br>
Missing 9.5 books<br>
<br>
<b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Missing:</span></b><br>

I could rant and rave about why do I have to physically go to<br>
the Museum and physically check the book shelves when this<br>
is supposed to be a COMPUTER musuem, but I leave the rant<br>
as an exercise for the reader.<br>
