[sdiy] Analog Computers, Rocket City

[Barry Klein]

I bought a copy of this book (first edition though) just to see what you
guys are discussing.  It does have a lot of circuits described but I
realized I won't likely get around to building any.  I wonder how the 2nd
edition compares.  Anyway, anyone want it for $45 and $5 shipping?  It is in
really nice condition; plastic clear cover over the usual paper cover,
hardback.

I'm holding a copy of Granino and Theresa Korn's Electronic Analog and
Hybrid Computers, 2nd edition (1972) in my hand right now, from the UBC main
library.  It looks as if hardly anyone has ever used this book, it's in such
good shape.

To say this book is a compendium of cool circuit ideas is a major
understatement.  However, this book does not really deal with the basics of
analog computer simulation.  There were quite a few related books nearby on
the library shelf, so I'm going to check out a few more when I have the
time.
