I have an anecdote about this book! I wrote my master's thesis about some cellular automata experiments. This was in 2016, so in the 50th anniversary year of the book. While doing background research I checked my university library's online database and found they had a copy of this book in storage off-site. So I had it retrieved and checked it out. Perfect condition. On the little card on the inside of the cover that shows previous borrowers there was one name and date, some time in the 70's, around the time my dad attended the same university. While it is possible there were more borrowers of the book that just weren't noted on the card (I myself was registered in a digital system of course), there can't have been many, since there was so little wear and tear. Made me wonder what other "treasures" are lying around libraries around the world, waiting generations between each time someone checks them out.
