This is an admirable attempt to help more micro users decide what books suit them best.

The bibliography lists more than 400 books, dividing them into four main categories: background, languages, specific micros, and hardware and software. It also lists them by publisher, by author, and by title and comments on who would find them useful.

It provides a good guideline as to what is now available - there are, for instance, 26 titles beginning 'Basic...'.

At £9.50 it is quite costly. But it does put the micro book market into perspective, and may save its price.
