You can find it on amazon for cheap: https://www.amazon.com/Neurocomputing-Foundations-Research-James-Anderson/dp/0262510480

I second that it's a great book! it covers stuff until the late 80s and has very nice commentary on various foundational papers until then (McCullough and Pitts, Hebb, the Perceptron, Adaline, Neocognitron as well as Hopfield's works). The earliest paper it includes is actually from 1890 (!) and is by the psychologist William James who framed the mind as a kind of input-output machine.

There is a version out there with a cool cover depicting a neuron on a circuit board.
