DeCosta's (1982) is probably the oldest there but "Golden Flutes and Great Escapes", "Basic Adventure and Strategy Game Design" and others are also early '80s (1984).

So no, I'll probably just archive it and bring stuff out as needed by research or questions. One of my weird little habits is I tend to keep all the stuff forever.

By the way, for those who don't know, some of them are available online at http://www.atariarchives.org/. I recognize two of them, "Creating Adventure Games on Your Computer" and David Ahl's "BASIC Computer Adventures." All the books on that site are available with the permission of the copyright holders. Lots of good stuff... Great collection, I would love to read some of those books now.
