Or just read Neal Stephenson’s The Cryptonomicon and be done with it.
I cycle through my library on a decadal basis. Lots of books go away every time. The books before 1900 always stay. The art books stay. The how-to books stay, along with the 1962 Encyclopedia Britannica (The WHOLE thing).
And a dog-eared, paperback copy of the Cryptonomicon.
Go figure.
