I was using the council's website the other day to look for some books in the libraries in Rotherham, and after seeing rather alot of books about programming on the BBC and other old computers, I decided to look up amiga. There were only 3 books about amigas:

Not sure what they contain as I havn't been to look. I'm not even sure which library they are in as the website just says 'Non Fiction Stack', but I will have a look in the central library next time I go.

Has anyone else seen any books on Amigas or other old computers in the library in recent years?

I have to admit that I've not really been to the library that often in the last few years. I popped into the main Southampton library a couple of times this year to look a couple of things up, but not to really look around at great length.

However I used to pop to the library every week when I was a student. And they used to have quite a few books on the Amiga. I can't imagine they would still hold most of them though. Probably sold them off. I remember getting out some of the Bruce Smith published books on general Amiga subjects.

They are the very same THREE books listed in Portsmouth Central (which they have no idea where they are, except they are listed as ON SHELF... Which they're not... as per usual!)
