The question comes up regularly: which books do I need to read/have/look at/drool over...
I suggest we use this thread to come up with a list of all those books. It will remain at the top of the References & Reviews forum and will be continually updated with suggestions further on in the list. For those books that cannot be found on Amazon, I recommend [url:2brylu62]http://www.addall.com/used[/url]. For the Amazon links, try the various country sites as they do not always carry the same books!
