Some good advice

Some good advice here!
 
 
flyer with advice
black border from scanning; original is 8 1/2 x 11 inches

 
This flyer offers some helpful advice:
 
DO NOT DUMP
INTO TOWER
 FLOOR STACK.
 
PUT IN-LINE
  WITH OFFICE. 
 
That sounds like good advice - for someone.  But who? And about what?
 
The numbers in the lower right corner ( 34-2002-9438-6  0264914.1 ) do not provide relief.

Don't bother - fake UPC

Mom knows best

Filled with Motherly advice, this inscription appears inside the front of a used paperback book:


Mom's advice 

----------

Dear Max -

Don't laugh -
this is exactly the
kind of book a
Guy like you
should read!

Love,
Mom

Merry Xmas
1998

----------

What is Mom recommending?  The book is "Showstopper!" by G. Pascal Zachary:



"Showstopper!" (1996 English edition)

This revised and update edition was published in 1996 in England.  It describes the development at Microsoft of the Windows NT operating system, that family of Windows OS that spans from Windows NT 3.1 to Windows Server 2019.

One wonders if Mom read the book beforehand?
