A handy little book

A few days ago I went to Deventer for a day of shopping. At a secondhand bookshop I spotted this small pocket booklet from 1979: IC-LIN 1 – ’80 Operational amplifiers. (ISBN: 3-88109-017-7) It’s a data and comparison table for op-amps. It shows all the values that can be useful in table form, and handy too is the family name, which you can also search by to find alternatives. There are also plenty of pinout diagrams for the op-amps.
This data can probably be found online too, but I thought this was a nice and handy reference work for when you’re repairing equipment from before the 1980s. The booklet is about as long as my phone and a bit wider, so it doesn’t take up much space either. If you ever come across one, I’d pick it up. There are other versions of it too, but I haven’t come across those yet.
