Ray's Textbooks


My textbooks, in general, cover the subjects I've been interested in over the years.
This listing of books is a work in progress.  As of December, 2004 I only had about 12% of my textbooks entered into the computer.

Please note that the links to data on specific books may have errors; these files were all generated with a C++ program that I wrote but did not debug.  Lacking the time to investigate each file you may find individual errors...

These books are sorted according to category, then title, then author.  The link from the title goes to all the information I have logged about the book.
