Preservation of Old Computer Books

Inspired by some recent efforts (such as Konamito's) on preserving old computer books, I've started scanning some of my old programming books, since It has been brought to my attention that some of them were out of print and hard to find. Most of them are books to learn the BASIC programming language, and specially the MSX version of the language. But some are also for ZX Spectrum (I also have some Commodore Amiga books, but those are too "new" to be here yet :)).

Some other webs where you can find scanned MSX/Spectrum/Amstrad/Commodore books/magazines: http://comunidadmsx.com/tag/libro-msx/, http://retroinvaders.com/es/revistas, http://www.worldofspectrum.org/books.html

Note 1: the pdfs are links to my DropBox. I have no idea for how long do DropBox links last, so if there is a broken link, please report it to me and I'll update it.

Note 2: the number of pages reported below is the number of pages that the PDF has, not the number of book pages.

"MSX 30 rutinas de utilidad en Código Máquina", Steve Webb, Ed. rama, 1986

Download: pdf (50 pages)

"PHILIPS MSX-BASIC", Albert Sickler, Kluwer Technische Boeken B.V., 1987

Download pdf (152 pages)

Unfortunately, some pages of the PDF have some hand annotations, I guess when I was 10 years old I thought writing on a book was ok...

I have many more books, but scanning is tedious, so I'll be adding them bit by bit. Also, the more I wait the more books that appear in other websites (links above) scanned by others... ;)
