>Comments not in quotes below are either mine, or I have seen no reason to
|
|
change them from those of Jim Haynes (previous maintainer of this document).
|
|
Comments sent in by others are in quotes, and have the name of the
|
|
commentator before them (JH is Jim Haynes).</P

|
><P
|
|
>"See" URLs attached to publishing information point directly into the
|
|
publisher's web catalog and typically take you to a page containing
|
|
a cover shot, blurbs, and ordering information. Books that don't
|
|
have these lack them because the publisher is using frames and the
|
|
catalog pages can't be bookmarked.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>Topic listings go roughly from the outside in (culture to user-land
|
|
programming to kernel programming to hardware). Within sections I have
|
|
tried to list the most useful books first insofar as I am familiar with them.
|
|
It's just an embarrassing coincidence that this lists one of my books
|
|
first, honest! (Suggestions for a better organization cheerfully
|
|
accepted.)</P
