GILBERT, BENJAMIN F. - Ibm's Santa Teresa Laboratory a Place in History

San Jose, CA: IBM, 1978. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Paperback. Book Club Edition. B&W Illustrations; This is an oversized square paperback book with cardstock covers and a glued spine. The spine of the book has noticeable curling, and there is some beginning bumping to the spine ends and corners. The text pages are clean and bright. This is a history of Santa Teresa, CA where the IBM laboratory is located. "Santa Teresa was founded in 1834 as Rancho Santa Teresa, a rancho grant given by Governor José Figueroa to Don José Joaquín Bernal, a retired soldier who came to Alta California as part of the De Anza Expedition in 1776. Prior to receiving the rancho grant, José Joaquín Bernal had already settled in the area since 1826. Bernal named the area Santa Teresa after attributing the healing waters of the Santa Teresa Spring to Saint Teresa of Ávila, the 16th century Spanish saint. Rancho Santa Teresa quickly became an important center for Californio life in the southern Santa Clara Valley, attracting vaqueros and their families from the region with regular fiestas featuring Fandango dancing and large feasts." (from Wikipedia). Very Good .
