There's a used book store in dinkytown down the block from Espresso Royale.
In the basement, they have *tons* of old computer books from the 70's and
80's, and they are all cheap.  Lots of interesting stuff there since it's
near the U of MN campus.  

I got myself a TRS-80 assembly language book there for 50 cents.  :)  One
day, Linux will boot off an audio tape....
