Found at the friends of the library store today:
"Operators' Wireless Telegraph & Telephone Hand - Book", Victor H. Laughter, 1918
This one was one of the biggest highlights, it's a great snapshot of the early days of wireless. If spark gap and arc gap transmissions weren't outright illegal, I'd love to duplicate some of these early circuits and build a coherer or two.
"B-52 Boeing Stratofortress", William G. Holder, 1975 - Just because old military factbooks are fun.
"The Dragonriders of Pern", Anne McCaffrey, hardback, 1980 - an omnibus edition of "Dragonflight", "Dragonquest" and "The White Dragon".
"A Brief History of Time", 10th anniversary edition, Stephen Hawking. - Just because I don't actually have a copy.
"Friday", Robert A. Heinlein, 1982, hardcover. Yes, it's a first edition. It's in pretty good shape, the dust jacket needs a little help. And I only paid a dollar for it.
It was good day at the bookstore today.
