Dunno, but I suspect somewhere back in the day a CD-ROM was likely offered, if it was, I'm sure it's somewhere...

Then again, I think there was a change after the first 6 years or so, so it may be lost to time.

(The books I saw were just scans of pages as originally published back in the 70s.)

I love books about/from the 'early days' (1975 on), but at $75 for the collection, I couldn't do it. I could justify $5-7/book, but they were $15-25/each!
