A History of Manchester Computers
As part of the 50th anniversary of computing celebrations in Manchester in 1998, Simon Lavington and the British Computer Society have produced a book describing the history of Manchester University's five prototype computers built over the period 1946 to 1975.
Anybody who missed the celebrations or would like to know more about Manchester's innovations is recommended to obtain a copy of this book. Its 56 pages provide a detailed description of the five prototype computers, place them in the context of contemporary computer developments elsewhere, and are copiously illustrated with photographs, charts and program listings.

Character Recognition
This Handbook is as much concerned with Document Handling, and with Paper and Print, as with Character Recognition - the latter has little commercial significance without the others - and there has been considerable difficulty in deciding the scope of the publication in certain areas. It was found, in fact, that some of the boundaries were as ill-definable as those of the poor-quality print characters that long-suffering reading machines are expected to recognise.
