Back in the summer of 1981, I picked up a hardcover edition of DeLorean's "unauthorized" biography, On A Clear Day You Can See General Motors, discounted down to $10. It was one of the best values in new books that I ever found. I knew enough to take DeLorean's perspective with a grain of salt, but found the read to be very enlightening. You could see trouble brewing on the horizon for GM, and then along came Roger B. Smith. 
It seems that Sloan's book is currently available as new, if only in paperback form, these days. Perhaps, it was required reading in some business schools (if not, it SHOULD be). I'm gonna pick up a copy and curl up with it next winter.
While Cray's Chrome Colossus appear to be out of print, I'll keep an eye out for a good clean used edition.
