I first became aware of this book in 1986 when I was in the New York
Public Library and I decided to search to see if they had any books
written by me, Sam Sloan.

1986?
library search engine?

yeah, riiiight.

The Library at which I have worked for 30 years installed a computer
catalogue system with a subject and author search "engine" in 1984. I
expect they were a bit earlier in the big city.
