Rare hardcover First Edition, Fourth Printing (1967) in Fine/VG++ condition with a VG dust jacket. The covers are in excellent shape with square corners and firm spine caps. The binding is square and tight. Minor abrasion to the front flyleaf. The interior pages are clean and unmarked. The dust jacket shows light shelf wear with a repaired tear at the upper corner of the front panel but remains attractive and in Very Good condition. This foundational text on programming the System/360 was written by the Staff of Computer Usage Company, including Rita Z. Altucher, and edited by Ascher Opler. It provides a detailed analysis of data conversions, which is one of its primary strengths. While it covers system-only instructions, the discussion remains broad and does not necessarily align with the way IBM's operating systems were actually implemented. The text approaches these instructions as if the system were neither multiprogramming nor multiprocessing, though IBM OSes were designed for both. The book will be carefully packaged for shipment for protection from the elements. A USPS electronic tracking number will be issued free of charge. Feel free to contact us for more information or pictures regarding the book.

Store Description

Alien Bindings is an online bookshop located in Baltimore that has been in operation for nearly 20 years. Alien Bindings caters to the sciences including the physical sciences, astronomy, mathematics, computer science, the social sciences and medicine. I also dabble in a wide array of other categories including antiquarian books and history. I run a clean, green business. I try to reuse clean materials for packaging whenever possible. For example, books are carefully packaged frequently using clean cardboard for custom made boxes, recycled paper is used for printed labels and recycled plastic or bubble wrap is used for a weather-proof barrier. I drop the packages off to my local post office via foot or cycle in order to further reduce the carbon footprint.
