• Giving away a lot of Ada books

    From Michael Feldman@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 3 16:53:48 2021
    Dear Colleagues,

    I hope you are all well and ready for the fall, whatever it might bring in these uncertain times.

    My wife Ruth and I are moving from Portland to Berkeley in the near future (yes, our son and his family live there -- he is a professor at Cal Berkeley); our new flat will have many advantages, but alas, not nearly enough space for all our books, papers,
    and media.

    I'm writing in the hope of finding new homes for (i.e. giving away) any or all of my large set of books on Ada. I've been collecting these since Ada's beginning in the early 1980s; I think I have all (or very nearly) the Ada books ever published. The
    list is included below.

    Please email me if you're interested in any of these. Ruth has very kindly offered to work with you on the shipping logistics; we ask only that you reimburse us for the shipping costs. Overseas mailing has become such an expensive hassle that I'd prefer
    the destinations to be in the U.E.

    Book dealers don't usually have the understanding or respect for the content of these books, so they have little to no sale value. But they might well have real value to people in the Ada community who know the field. Unfortunately, I fear my options
    might come down to saying farewell to these treasures on their way to the landfill. I hope not!

    Best regards to you and yours; please stay out of COVID's way!,

    Good to hear from you again.

    It must have taken a long time to simply list all of these; thanks for not throwing these away.

    I have quite a collection of Ada books here, but you have me beat by a long ways.

    I'd be interested in Norm Cohen's Ada as a Second Language; at one point, we gave our copy to a newly hired person to study and they never brought it
    back. (Most of the early textbooks we had multiple copies of; we used to
    sell Ada books to our customers and still have a few left overs that were
    not sold.) E-mail me if you haven't given it to someone else.

    Randy.

    I have reduced the list to the following two books that I would like
    to read, please tell me a mail address where to write to arrange for
    logistics and shipping expense refund.

    The rest of the books are available on Amazon or are superseded by new editions.

    The University of California at Berkeley library
    (https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/ there's a link to a "contact us" page)
    might want some of these. If not, take them to your local library; they
    might just trash them, but they might also end up on shelf somewhere ...

    Amazing book list Michael !

    A very inspiring source of new reading material !

    Thanks a lot...

    May I reuse it ? (citing you as the compiler of this list ?)

    If it's not too late and any are particularly good or of particular use for embedded work generally or even better specifically for ARM cortex-m work. Then I would be interested. I am in the UK but I have friends near Michigan that I shall surely be
    visiting and so I could probably arrange for them to be sent there, if not too costly?
