Elements of Programming edit / delete
The (well-known?) book that has a nice treatment of reasoning about program semantics, using C++ as the sample language. And now the book is freely available as a PDF! I wonder if we could do a module based on this...

A book on writing PC operating systems. (I wouldn't recommend the code style here to students.)
The Public Domain Song Anthology edit / delete
"The Public Domain Song Anthology by David Berger and Chuck Israels is a collection of 348 popular songs with modern and traditional harmonization for both study and performance." I think the criterion here is something like "music that would have been well-known at the birth of jazz" - there are some interesting inclusions and omissions.

Real World OCaml edit / delete
Full text online. Like "Real World Haskell", but for O'Caml, as you might expect. This is pretty interesting, but it's very focussed on the Jane Street libraries which I'm not terribly keen on.

Creating Adventure Games On Your Computer edit / delete
Interesting to compare with the Usborne book. This was clearly written by someone who'd actually seen the Dungeon source, since it uses a "travel table" approach.

Computer and coding books from Usborne Publishing edit / delete
More specifically, PDFs of most of the 80s books they published. I've got a few that aren't on here, but it does include my favourite, "Write Your Own Adventure Programs". Which I did!
