I liked the book and I'm sad to see it going to a charity. But I have to downsize my library and this is one of the victims. The reality is that I will never be able to sit down and re-read it ....pity. And I've only referred to it briefly in the 50 or so years since I bought it. and these days, I can get that sort of information easily via the internet. Three stars from me.

My copy of this book is nearly 50 years old. Things, at least most of them, don’t work that way anymore. If I have a grandchild who’s deeply interested in technology, I’ll look for a 21st century book.
