Six O\'Reilly Java titles — one publisher, matched spines, a genuine working shelf rather than a pile.
Core language, standard library, GUI work, XML integration, and mobile. Both editions of Learning Java are here, and both still have their companion CD-ROMs — the 1st edition disc has never been opened.
What\'s included (numbered to match the photos)
- Learning Java, 1st Edition (2000) — Niemeyer & Knudsen. ISBN 1-56592-718-4. Covers Java 1.3. CD-ROM included and never opened — still sealed in its factory film inside the book\'s original rear pocket. The disc carries sample programs, basic Java development software, and the JBuilder 3.5 Foundation IDE. The original O\'Reilly reply card is still bound in.
- Learning Java, 2nd Edition (2002) — Niemeyer & Knudsen. ISBN 0-596-00285-8. Covers Java 2 SDK 1.4. CD-ROM included — J2SE SDK 1.4.0 for Solaris/Windows/Linux, Forte for Java 3.0 CE, and Tomcat 4.0.1. This disc is in a plain jewel case and ships loose in the box, not inside the book; the book\'s own rear pocket is empty and is photographed that way.
- Java Cookbook, 1st Edition (2001) — Ian F. Darwin. ISBN 0-596-00170-3.
- Java Swing, 1st Edition (1998) — Eckstein, Loy & Wood. ISBN 1-56592-455-X.
- Java & XML, 2nd Edition (2001) — Brett McLaughlin. ISBN 0-596-00197-5.
- J2ME in a Nutshell (2002) — Kim Topley. ISBN 0-596-00253-X.
Condition, with the exceptions named
All six are complete and tightly bound, with clean unmarked text — no highlighting, no annotation, no loose pages, and no ownership marks in any of them. Ordinary shelf wear for their age.
Two carry cover creasing, which is why the lot is listed Good rather than Very Good:
- Learning Java, 2nd Edition — a pronounced crease and curl at the lower front corner.
- Java Swing — corner wear with light creasing to the front cover.
About the discs
Titles 3–6 were published without accompanying media; nothing is missing from them. Both discs that are here are the original O\'Reilly discs. The 1st edition’s is unopened in the book’s original rear pocket. The 2nd edition\'s was moved into a plain jewel case years ago for protection — the case is a replacement, the disc inside it is original. Both are photographed. Neither has been tested in a drive; they are sold as included original media, not as guaranteed working software.
Shipping
Already boxed and weighed: 15 lb 4 oz, 14.5 × 11.5 × 6 in, going by USPS Media Mail. The books are stretch-wrapped into two blocks so they cannot shift in transit, and a printed packing list goes in the box.
