I still have the original manuals from my Macintosh (1984), including those for MacWrite and MacPaint, as well as the 1st ed "Macintosh" book by Cary Lu. It's really something else to see computer books from that era. Beautifully typeset and illustrated. I have many (and still use several) old O'Reilly books as well, including The Whole Internet User's Guide and Catalog by Ed Krol... the Second Edition which adds a chapter about the World Wide Web. There is a quaint Catalog at the back listing sites on a number of topics from Science to Entertainment. Gopher, Usenet, FTP, WAIS, and yes WWW -- the "whole" internet. For many obvious reasons, nobody makes hard-copy computer manuals anymore. I still enjoy reading books, even on computer topics I could otherwise be reading online.
