Old Electronics/Engineering books

Hello, my uncle was an engineer with General Dynamics Corporation in California back in the 60's and 70's. When he passed away, our family found that he had left some books on electronics and engineering and I was just wondering if any of these books were of interest to anyone. Here is what I have:

- Voltage Regulator Handbook - National Semiconductor Corporation 1981

- Modern Recording Techniques - Robert E. Runstein - 1974

- Fundamentals of Engineering Drawing - Revised Edition - Warren J. Luzadder - 1943-1946

- Motorola Power Transistor Handbook - Theory, Design Characteristics and Application

- Handbook of Mathematical Tables and Formulas - Richards Stevens Burington, PhD, 1949

- TTL Data Book - Fairchild, Semiconductor SSI/MSI TTL Products, 1978

- TTL Cookbook - Don Lancaster , 1974

- Radio Engineering - Frederick Emmons Terman, Sc.D, 1932

- Basic Mathematics for Electronics. 4th Edition, Cooke and Adams,

1976

- Silicone Zener Diode and Rectifier Handbook - Theory, Design Characteristics and Applications, Motorola 1961

- Allied's Radio Data Handbook - Allied Radio Corporation, Chicago. Written and compiled by technical staff of Allied Radio Corporation,

1943.

If these are just old, outdated books I will give them to GoodWill, if anyone is interested in any of these, please email me

thank you,

Try auctioning them on e-bay?

I tried that a couple of months ago. It's definitely a buyers market for books. I sold 4 hardback Dean Koontz books for $5. Definitely not worth the trouble.

How about Amazon Marketplace? It takes longer to sell, but you can list your book by ISBN and get people automatically directed to you who are seeking that specific book. You can also see how many other copies are on the market.

If I were you I would keep Termans book And the Allied Radio book. If they are not already collectors books they will be. My copy of Terman is an First edition/eleventh impression 1935. Its printed on a casein coated paper. A really beautiful old book. The others excepting the Motorola zener data book would be useful to practicing Engineers or someone interested in learning electronics.

The Motorola book will probably not end up as a collectable to the antiquarian book trade for a while. But it would certainly be of interest to an Electronically knowledgeable collector.
