"This is unadulterated, shameless vintage techie porn, at it's best. The epitome of a coffee table photo book. Beautiful high res photography of the inner workings and schematic topography of mostly PC computing systems, mainframes, switch relays and tape machines- pre intergrated circuits. Very future retro ala THX 1138, and even more beautiful than a good bit of the technology we have today, processes no where near as quick, but far more elegant. This book relays this with ease....um no pun intended."
