The following messages are a list of resources that I've put together
from recommendations in this echo.  These include books, magazines and
compiler vendors.

The format for book entries is as follows:

Author _Title_, ISBN, Publisher, Year, List Price (Comments --
  Recommmended-By)

Prices are in $US unless otherwise specified.  Where a book has been
recommended by multiple persons, I've left off the names that don't have
comments.  Books are in alpha order by author's last name, or title if
the author is unknown or unattributed.  When there is more than one ISBN
or price, the following suffixes will be used:

.p -- paperback
.h -- hardback
.d -- with disk

Magazine information includes the name of the magazine and the address
and subscription rates.

I cannot list information I do not have.  It is possible that some
information may be missing for a particular book.  Comments are
condensed from the messages I got the recommendation from and may or may
not accurately describe the book.   Lest they take over C_ECHO, any and
all additions/corrections/suggestions should be sent to me netmail at
1:106/2000.25.  - J-Mag Guthrie

[DISCLAIMER:  I make no promises real or implied as to the usefulness of
any of the books here listed.  The reason for the 'recommended by' is
to give you some idea of who thought the book was good so you can find
books that are recommended by folks whose messages make particular sense
to you.  (Or folks who forgot to mention author/ISBN/publisher/price so
you can harass them.)  These people are not in any position to promise
you anything, either.]
