My Personal Library

This is a list of all the books I currently have in my personal library and which I am constantly adding too.  These are the books I have used as a primary source for all the writings on this website.  I hope eventually to write a brief review of each and categorize them into some sort of order i.e. - Novice, Intermediate and Advance, or even - Useless, Mediocre and Brilliant.

Being an avid reader I collect books from wherever I go, but the majority of the ones I list here have been specially ordered for me.  I have no hesitation in recommending this guy to you.  All it takes is a telephone call, email or fax, and if it's out there, he will find it for you.  If you're looking for a new publication, an out of print copy, or even a second-hand book, then this is the guy to call.  I have always found his service courteous, prompt and above all safe.  His name is "Jerry Bird" and he can be found at:
