I have a large stock of books and an even larger stock of typed up paper material in my messy study. Looking over some of the books I came across some that I had not read or even glanced at. I present a selection of a half-dozen that aroused my interest …. arranged in chronological order.
I invite commentary on any of these books by personnel who happen to have read them or had some friendship with the authors.
