I am curious as to how you got a book from his library. Are there other volumes from his collection that can be preserved? He was important enough in the history of computing for us to try and do that. Jim Cortada On Mon, Jan 18, 2021 at 6:38 AM Holbrook, Dan <holbrook@marshall.edu> wrote:

Hello,

I have a very nice copy of Richards, R. K. *Digital Computer Components and Circuits*. Princeton, N.J.: Van Nostrand, 1957, that I will be happy to send to anyone who wants it.

It was once owned by Montgomery Phister ( https://prabook.com/web/montgomery.phister/3485617).

Let me know if you want it and I’ll send it right out.
