You can get a free telephone-book-size catalog of scientific and
technical books from Omega (the people that peddle thermocouples and 
temperature-measuring devices and have a card in seemingly every pack
of information-cards you get in the mail; for some reason they have just
expanded into the bookselling business this year). This includes a section
of computer and data processing books. Call 1-800-222-BOOK [(203)359-1660 in
Connecticut] for a qualification form to get this free, or just write on
your letterhead to Book of Books, Inc.
                   One Omega Drive   [Don't you find these kinds of addresses
                   PO Box 2349        silly and pretentious?  I do... :-]
                   Stamford, CT 06906

(They may send it free just if you ask for it on the phone, but the book does
say that extra copies cost $45 each [!] so maybe they won't.)

Here are other mail-order book sources:

comm, and suchlike publications.

Hope these are of help. By the way, I couldn't reply to the original
inquirer directly, so I hope he sees this posting!
