Hardcover book on serial cables.  Hmm..._RS-232 Made Easy_?  I'm
thinking it was printed in two editions at least one of which was
published in both hardcover and softcover.

On the library sales.  Your (Zane's) problem is probably that you have
Powell's right there, and either whoever is operating the sale is
picking out technical books to Powell's because they think they can't
get as much from the "retail" customers like you, or there are book
scouts out looking for stuff to resell (likely to Powell's).
