Well, if we're going to talk about oldies, how about "Planning a Computer
System, Project Stretch" ed. by Buchholz.  Even though the machine is
ancient it's always a pleasure to read something by the designers on why
they designed it the way that they did - a kind of literature that is
too rare, in my opinion.
