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
