Paperback. Condición: Very Good. At last - the secrets of Bletchley Park's powerful codebreaking computers. This is a history of Colossus, the world's first fully-functioning electronic digital computer. Colossus was used during the Second World War at the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, where it played an invaluable role cracking enemy codes. Until very recently, much about the Colossus machine was shrouded in secrecy, largely because the codes that were employed remained in use by the British security services until a short time ago. This book only became possible due to the declassification in the US of wartime documents. With an introductory essay on cryptography and the history of code-breaking by Simon Singh, this book reveals the workings of Colossus and the extraordinary staff at Bletchley Park through personal accounts by those who lived and worked with the computer. Among them is the testimony of Thomas Flowers, who was the architect of Colossus and whose personal account, written shortly before he died, is published here for the first time. Other essays consider the historical importance of this remarkable machine, and its impact on the generations of computing technology that followed. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Soft cover. Condición: As New. No Jacket. Cover art and title page illustration by Frank Frazetta (though still looking a lot like the work of his mentor, Roy Krenkel, possibly to match others in the series) Ilustrador.

Reduced from $14.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book, but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm "Dynamic Dimensional Stereo" vinyl record album, Columbia Musical Treasuries DS-486, very-good-plus vinyl in a very-good-plus cardboard jacket. The problem with Columbia Records trying to release a compilation of their greatest rock 'n roll hits in 1968 is that they barely had any rock 'n roll ACTS. Up through 1965, their A&R (talent development) manager was Mitch Miller. Yes, "Sing Along With" Mitch, who despised rock 'n roll. Almost by accident, they'd ended up with (because they were initially considered "folk" acts) Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Paul Revere and the Raiders, and the somewhat pathetic "Rip Chords." That could explain why the only two real "hits" here are The Raiders' "Kicks" and The Tremeloes' "Silence is Golden." Yes, "Somebody to Love" became a hit -- but for Jefferson Airplane on RCA, not this earlier rendition by Gracie's lower-key first band, "The Great Society." Meantime, why aren't the offerings from the few real (non-geriatric) stars in the Columbia stable their actual HITS? Why is the Union Gap represented here by "You better Sit Down Kids," rather than by their actual hits "Young Girl" OR "Lady Willpower"? Certainly The Cryan' Shames' "It Could Be We're in Love," The Buckinghams' "C'mon Home" (NOT "Kind of a Drag"), Moby Grape's "Omaha," The Electric Flag's "Groovin' Is Easy," The Byrds' "Goin' Back," (NOT "Mr. Tambourine Man," NOT "Eight Miles HIgh") and The Peanut Butter Conspiracy's "Turn On a Friend" are interesting mementos of the '60s. But were they ever, really, "Big Hits"? Aretha Franklin and Ravi Shankar also put in appearances, though not together (which really WOULD have been notable.) Where's Rosemary Clooney, Micth? Where's Doris Day? You know, something we can all "sing along" to? Reduced from $14.
