Wanted: A Mint Copy of Electronics magazine, 1965

Librarians are upset with Intel--for broadcasting a $10,000 bounty for the issue of Electronics magazine in which Gordon Moore first stated his famous law about the number of transistors per square inch doubling every year. Unfortunately, this caused a rash of thefts at academic libraries around the world and has had the effect of making this original information inaccessible to future researchers. The librarians wish the offer had been handled more discreetly than a public post on ebay.
