I'll stick to my 'full' TI TTL databooks. I have an old hard-backed one, 
covering things like 74Hxxx numbers (it's late enough to contain 74LS, 
but nothing after that), and the full 3-volume set. Volume 1 is plain, S 
and LS, Volume 2 is AS and ALS, Volume 3 is programmable stuff (PROMs, 
PALs). I forget which book contains RAMs ;-)
