I was able to find most of these books at the local library, even those that are out of print. Other sources for obtaining books are used book stores such as abebooks.com, half.com, or any new book store. Most of the book titles are linked through to Amazon.com . If anyone clicks through to them and purchases a book, a small portion comes back to help pay for the webspace for this site.
