Distributed Processing and Data Communications by Daniel McGlynn is a heavyweight from the dawn of the digital revolution a 1978 hardcover that reads like a user s manual for the future. Published by John Wiley & Sons, this 305-page volume captures the moment when computing began its shift from bulky, centralized behemoths to nimble, networked systems. Think pre-internet, pre-cloud, pre- there's an app for that. McGlynn s work breaks down complex ideas with the clarity of a professor who really wants you to get it making this a choice collectible for tech historians, computer science buffs, and anyone nostalgic for the golden age of terminal screens and punch cards. Our copy wears its age with pride. The dust jacket shows a little character some closed tears, rubbed edges, and light soiling but that's just patina for the paperback crowd. Structurally, it's solid: a clean, tight example of a technical title that shaped careers and coded the groundwork for how we connect today. Whether you're curating a shelf of vintage computing classics or just love tracing today s innovations back to their retro roots, this one's got circuitry in its soul. Why collect it? Because McGlynn captured the theory that would drive everything from cloud architecture to peer-to-peer systems. This isn't just a book it's an artifact of the first networked age. And when you buy from us, you do more than preserve the past you help build the future. A portion of every sale goes to literacy programs, and we ship using fully biodegradable, eco-friendly packaging.
