- Ken Lee's recently posted bibliography is certainly useful, but it has
- always annoyed me that he lumps all of the O'Reilly & Associates books
- together, rather than treating them indivdually. I've asked him a
- couple of times, without success, to do me the courtesy of including my
- name when he mentions the books I wrote (as he does for all other
- authors), and to include the ISBN numbers of O'Reilly & Associates books
- (as he does with all other books) so that people can order them through
- bookstores.
-
- In any case, I've prepared a bibliography of all the O'Reilly X books,
- suitable for merging with or appending to Ken's bibliography. Since I
- write for O'Reilly & Associates, I haven't tried to include a review of
- these books, but have briefly mentioned what is in them, sometimes
- copying the description off the back cover. I haven't alphabetized this
- bibliography; instead, I list the books in their order in the series.
