Hack-a-Day reports:

[Jason Scott of Textfiles.com] found 25,000 manuals for all kinds of electronic items. The collection goes back to the '30s. Jason wants to save them and the current owner of the collection needs the space.

[...] The plan is to arrive Monday morning, along with $900 of bankers boxes [that] an anonymous donor paid for and start putting these manuals into boxes. I am then going to rent a nearby (1 mile away) Storage Unit, using a rented truck from a nearby Truck Rental place (2 miles).

The warehouse is located in Finksburg, MD, about 30 miles northwest of Baltimore.

The more people who I can get to show up to the place during the day or early evening, the better. The more people who throw money at me via paypal (jason at textfiles dot com) so I can pay the $250/month storage unit fee until the end of the year (so this can get an appropriate home), the better.

There are duplicates of some items; Scott will keep only 1 copy of each item, with the rest going into a dumpster.
