Books
We have three books about LEO available for you to buy directly from us – all proceeds go towards supporting the Society’s ongoing work. Once you request a book we will work out the postage costs for you based on delivery address.
1. Peter Bird’s hardback ‘LEO, The first Business Computer’ was published in 1994 and gives a very thorough history of the origins and development of LEO. £10. I would like to discount this down to £5 as copies are now showing signs of their age!
2. Georgina Ferry’s paperback ‘A computer called LEO’, first published 2003, is a less technical account of the history of LEO set in its social context. £8.
3. ‘LEO Remembered – by the people who worked on the world’s first business computer.’ This is an anthology of over 80 reminiscences by LEO people illustrated with contemporary photographs. We launched our new edition in September 2022 and are delighted that it received excellent reviews. £8.
