I maintain this book list for use of my readers, customers, attendants of my courses, and everybody else who is interested. The list does not aim to be complete in any way; it contains titles that I personally find worth reading. The order in which titles are listed does not imply any judgement of the books; instead the ordering is by topic from essentials of common interest to titles devoted to more esoteric, special-interest issues.

Note: I do not sell these books! Please, do not send me orders. Contact your favorite book store for any purchases you want to make.
