Hope this is on topic. I know that many you of you have had an =
engineering education and are at least in the 50 plus age range. Hence =
my inquiry may make some sense to you. I have been collecting the =
electrical engineering texts in the Frederick Terman - McGraw Hill =
series. These books were published from about 1946 to 1970 and cover =
the "modernization" of the EE curriculum. By this I mean the inclusion =
of high level math and theory and up to the period just before computing =
became popular. Most were bound in black cloth with red pin stripes on =
the spine (this can vary with orange in the Princeton sub-series or =
green in the Brooklyn Poly sub-series). Frederick Terman's =
contributions were his multi-editions of Radio Engineering. In =
addition, Terman was well known as the former head of EE and the Dean of =
Engineering at Stanford and the one who encouraged Dave and Bill to =
build that audio oscillator in their garage. =20

Well, I figured there were about 144 different books in this series and =
I have collected many of them. I have an excel spreadsheet which I would =
be glad to share if you are indeed interested or have something to =
offer. The remaining ones are becoming more difficult to find so I am =
broadening my search. =20
Thanks for your patience.
