Old O'Reilly X books

[Pat Kane]

I'd love to have another copy of
    The X Window System Server
    X Version 11, Release 5
    By Elias Israel and Erik Fortune

and copy of the Maroon X bible (Digital Press?) would be nice too.

The only interesting dead trees that I have to trade is an old
xerox copy of HAKMEM (AI Memo 239)
