A topic seldom mentioned in the collecting hobby are ..books

this actually is with good reason because admittedly not very many book were
written in the English language on the subject

i think one can find far more books written in German on dedicated chess
computers then in all languages combined

nonetheless there were some books written in English over the years

by far an away the most prolific writer was David Levy,having Sired no less then
a dozen books

IMO the two best books ever written were by Tim Harding dealing with the "Golden
Age" of dedicated computers..the Early to Mid 1980's

a by no means exhaustive selection of books can be seen here:
