I'm interested in "The New Turing Omnibus" by A.K. Dewdney
(978-0-8050-7166-5).  Happy to make a contribution.  Discuss that
under separate cover.

I think you misspelled "C++" as "C" ;-) in "The Annotated C Reference
Manual (hardback)" by Margaret A. Ellis and Bjarne Stroustrup, no?

There are a half-dozen books there (at least) that I would be
interested in if I didn't own them already. :-) I too need to lighten
the load on my bookshelves, and will be posting a series of similar
messages over the next couple of weeks (there are a *lot* of them,
paid by your tax dollars...).  So there may be seconds on some of
these books.

Charles Mueller (IIRC) mentioned a bookstore he had worked with a
couple months ago, I think on this list.  So you might be able to do
better than BookOff.
