Librarians around the world are probably breathing a bit easier now that a vintage copy of Electronics Magazine has been found.

An engineer in England turned up a copy of the magazine under his floorboards and bagged a $10,000 reward from Intel, according to the BBC.

The California chipmaker had posted the bounty on eBay last week on the eve of the 40th anniversary of Moore’s Law. In a 1965 article in the now defunct magazine, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore had first posited his thoughts on how silicon technology would evolve. As it turned out, neither Moore nor Intel had saved a copy of the publication.
