Hi all,

please take a moment of your time and enter suggestions for classic
books related to Smalltalk. I've already suggested The Langugage And Its
Implementation.

Subject: [CLASSICBOOKS] Classic Computer Science texts - request from
Dave Patterson for suggestions


Dear ACM Member,

ACM is launching a new initiative to revive classic, out-of-print
computer science books, with the intent to make the full text available
online to members via the PDC/DL. I'm asking you to identify the
books you believe are "classics." The suggestions I've received so far
can be viewed at http://www.acm.org/csclassics/.

You may also nominate classic computer manuals (for example,
IBM 360 Principles of Operation, and DEC PDP-11 Handbook).

The book must be out of print to qualify. (A book is still considered
"in print" if its fourth edition is selling despite the first edition
being
no longer available).

Please submit your comments and candidates for CS classics by
Friday, October 7, including why you think your nomination(s) qualify
as classic(s), by filling out the form at www.acm.org/csclassicspoll .
After this date we will conduct a vote, resulting in the Top 20 classic
books. You will receive another email with instructions directing you
to the Web site with the online poll.

Thanks in advance for your help. We believe this will be a great
service to our members!

Dave Patterson, ACM President
