Bibliography

We've divided our sources into several categories for your researching pleasure. First, we've defined a few words that we've used on the site. Next, we've listed some of the web resources we've used. Keep in mind that links which are here today may be gone tomorrow. Such is the web. Next, we've listed specialty publications, usually printed by small, out of the way college printing presses or other specialty publishers. Then we've listed books that are generally available.

If you click on a link for any of the books, it will [should] take you to amazon.com, where if you actually purchase the book we get like 5 cents or some ridiculously abysmal amount, barely enough for our troubles. We use the money for gasoline, and a tiny, tiny amount of beer.

At the very bottom we've added some books we thought might be interesting but haven't checked out. With the price of gas these days, we need you to buy all the books you can afford.
