Is this "A History of Engineering and Science in the Bell System"?  I
have borrowed a copy from my University library which is subtitled
"The Early Years (1875-1925)" first printed in 1975 (Library of
Congress Catalog Card Number: 75-31499). It is quite interesting but I
would like to read the later volumes (which the library does not
have). Does anyone have the full name of all the volumes and their
ISBN or other identifiers?
