Hope this is on topic.  I know that many you of you have had an engineering 
education and are at least in the 50 plus age range.  Hence my inquiry  may 
make some sense to you. I have been collecting the electrical engineering texts 
in the Frederick Terman - McGraw Hill series.  These books were published from 
about 1946 to 1970 and cover the "modernization" of the EE curriculum.  By this 
I mean the inclusion of high level math and theory and up to the period just 
before computing became popular.  Most were bound in black cloth with red pin 
stripes on the spine (this can vary with orange in the Princeton sub-series or 
green in the Brooklyn Poly sub-series).  Frederick Terman's contributions were 
his multi-editions of Radio Engineering.  In addition, Terman was well known as 
the former head of EE and the Dean of Engineering at Stanford and  the one who 
encouraged Dave and Bill to build that audio oscillator in their garage.  
 

Well, I figured there were about 144 different books in this series and I have 
collected many of them. I have an excel spreadsheet which I would be glad to 
share if you are indeed interested or have something to offer.  The remaining 
ones are becoming more difficult to find so I am broadening my search.  

 

Thanks for your patience.
