Author Relic in recycle bin

I found this in a recycle bin:

Programming Languages and Their Compilers -- Preliminary Notes, Second
Revised Version, April 1970, John Cocke and J. T. Schwartz
Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University

Any suggestions on what I should do with this once I come to terms with
the fact that I'm not going to get around to reading the book myself?
I'd like to see it find a home in a library somewhere; I suspect that
too many private collections get tossed in one bin or another when the
collector goes to that great bookstore in the sky.

I believe this (or likely the previous "unrevised" version) is the
original source of the value numbering algorithm, or at least its first
publication.
