I need to qualify my comment above from my previous post.  A "rare" computer book to me means one
from the very early mainframe or minicomputer eras.  I did see all kinds of donated early
microcomputer books and software, but nothing from my favorite mainframe/minicomputer topic area. 
I served with the library before joining this list and saw many items that would probably have
been of interest to members of this list.  So, like I said, go to your library system's used book
sales!  AND, while there, tell them about the market for really old microcomputer and other
computer books.  They might not have the benefit of a volunteer computer geek on their staff to
let them know what to keep and what to toss.
