About 8 years ago I made a move to my new home. Only about 300 meters far in the same neighbour, but I take the opportunity to make a clean up of my previous lifetime.
Hundred and hundreds of books, that I offered to the local library, but, all of them were technical ones. Finally, all of them finished in the recycling paper container.
Many of them can be seen in the above picture. And other, I think now, they can be been historical pieces, like the original complete documentation of Turbo Pascal 8 Professional. Or the same of Delphi 1 and Delphi 2 Client/Server.
I do not regret. When is time to make a cleanup, is the time! Point!
I remember especially the one of Create your Custom Components, of + Ray Konopka
Larry Hengen Thanks Larry. Please post a picture of your book collection. I purchased that bookshelf in 1999 from a Mennonite woodworker in Maryland. Solid oak excellent craftsmanship.
Michael Riley Unfortunately, all my Delphi books are in a big storage container, as I have moved around a little the last couple of years. All my current ones are e-Books.
Matches most of my Delphi bookshelf (:

ReplyDeleteLarry Hengen I find eBooks harder to work with. I much prefer printed versions.
ReplyDeleteWith e-books you can search
