Both the used book section of amazon.com and eBay's half.com
have many computer books for very low prices.

There is, for example, the J Rande "MVS Performance Management"
on half.com for $0.75 (plus about $4 shipping).

I haven't decided to buy it, but it is there.

(There is also one for sale at $30.01, wishfull thinking.)

Now, there is also Carmine Cannatello's "Advanced Assembler
Language and MVS Interfaces" for $523.83 which I won't be
buying. (plus $4.00 shipping).

There is a slight discount for shipping multiple books at
the same time, which helps when buying the $0.75 books.

Having an autographed copy of Mr. Cannatello's book, I would estimate
that very few people involved in this discussion are ready for the
techniques and methods described therein. :-)

Some of the material was new to me, and I've been programming Assembler
for exits, JES2 exits, etc. for 41 years.

Same here. A very worthwhile book if you can find it at a reasonable
cost.
