The price listed here is the cover price. Amazon.com frequently discounts their titles 10%-30%, but I did not include that information here, as Amazon's discounting policy changes frequently. To check the current price of a book, you must link to Amazon.com.

Note: Some of the bibliographic information may differ slightly from that in my Research page. That is because some of these books are only available in hard or soft cover now, or have gone through one or more reprints from my original source. They are, however, the same in content. If there's a book from the research page that is not listed here, that's probably because it is out of print. You may be able to obtain a copy through a used-book store.
