Dear colleagues, I'm trying to locate the text of book review that appeared in ABACUS. That's the ABACUS magazine about computing, published by Springer-Verlag from 1983, edited by Anthony Ralston at SUNY Buffalo. So far I have been unable to find an archive on line (and any search is confused by the large number of magazines of all sorts called Abacus). Specifically I am looking for a book review: V. R. Huskey and H. D. Huskey, “Dorothy Stein’s revolutionary view of Ada, Countess of Lovelace,” ABACUS, vol. 4, no. 2, pp. 46–54, 1986. Does anyone have a clue where I might find this? Regards Brian Carpenter
