I now strongly regret having sold mine; the brief moment of glee and small amount of cash was small potatoes compared to the number of times I've since wanted to re-read them.

(Also glee-killing: AMa 95)

Off-topic, but am curious: was there a "standard" text for AMa 95? I didn't go to Caltech, but heard a bit about the course from a friend who did. These days I sometimes teach our equivalent course, and am always looking for good resources. Thanks!

They sold the paperbound lecture notes at the Caltech bookstore and presumably nowhere else (at least back in the 80s).
