James Small's dissertation did finally get published as a book:
The Analogue Alternative: The Electronic Analogue Computer in Britain and the USA, 1930–1975 (Routledge, 2001).
It's a terrific book and the only thing of its kind about computers (stops in 1975, as the title mentions, though). Unfortunately it is insanely expensive - well over $100, and not many used copies floating around.
On a side note: if anyone comes across an affordable used copy of Small's, I would love to buy it. It is wonderfully informative -- and oddly pricey.
