I've also got an almost complete set.  However, they are packed up in
boxes ready for IDA's move to our new building after the holidays.
Let me know what the entire range of issues is, with the "holes" of
issues that you don't have and/or are keeping.  I hope to have the
opportunity to examine them again -- perhaps this Friday after
Christmas.

With some things, I'm a packrat -- I've kept some of those DEC Small
Computer Handbook paperback manuals around with me all these years,
even though the only ones I can get close to are in museums.
