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.

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.
