I tried to order the complete backlog on the optical media from them back in the day, they never shipped it and then shut down. Super disappointing.

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!
