hardcover. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that… encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Hardback. Condición: Good. Executive Programs and Operating Systems (1970) by G. Cuttle and P. B. Robinson is a title that sounds faintly corporate, faintly technical, and entirely determined to bring order to machines that, at the time, were roughly the size of a respectable wardrobe. This is 1970 ? the era when computing meant… serious rooms, raised floors, spools of tape, and the steady hum of hardware that looked as though it had been designed by an architect with a fondness for rectangles. The ?executive program? wasn?t someone in a suit making decisions in a boardroom; it was the supervisory layer of a computer system ? the part that kept everything organised, scheduled, allocated, and (one hoped) not on fire. In other words: this book is about the unseen management class of the machine world. Cuttle and Robinson approach their subject with the calm authority typical of early technical publishing from MacDonald?Elsevier . There is no breathless futurism here. No silicon valley swagger. No friendly mascots encouraging you to ?click here.? Instead, you get structured prose, careful explanations, and that unmistakable 1970s tone that implies competence is achievable if you just read closely and stop panicking. This is the age when operating systems were still being worked out . Batch processing versus time-sharing. Resource allocation. Interrupt handling. Job control. Memory management. The great intellectual puzzle of persuading an extremely expensive machine to juggle multiple tasks without sulking. It?s the foundation layer of modern computing ? long before ?update required? became a daily ritual. And there is something deliciously ironic about reading this today. We now carry operating systems in our pockets that manage billions of instructions per second, yet still find ways to freeze when we most need them. Back in 1970, the ambition was grand but measured: build a system that can supervise programs sensibly, efficiently, and predictably. One almost misses that quiet optimism. Condition (Good, and appropriately supervisory) This copy is in Good condition , which feels entirely appropriate for a book about orderly control. The binding is firm, the pages are clean, and it presents with the dignified air of something that once sat on the desk of someone who genuinely cared about interrupts and scheduling policies. It hasn?t been reduced to a doorstop for a server rack. It hasn?t been annotated into chaos. It has simply survived ? like a well-run system should. Why you want it Because this is not just a technical manual; it?s an artefact of computing?s formative years. A moment when operating systems were not taken for granted, but studied, debated, and engineered with almost philosophical seriousness. It?s also a reminder that behind every glossy interface lies a deeply structured, rule-bound executive quietly keeping things in line. Perfect for: collectors of vintage computing texts operating system enthusiasts who like their history foundational programmers curious about how the discipline began anyone nostalgic for technical books that assume you?re capable of thinking Crappy Old Books offers it as a solid survivor from the dawn of system-level seriousness ? a 1970 guide to the machinery that keeps the machinery running. Calm, methodical, and faintly majestic in its belief that if we can just organise the programs properly, everything will be fine.
