Books referenced in this book
Perhaps this will be its own section, or perhaps it will merely be part of the Notes section of this book. Regardless of where it ends up, I’ve always wished authors would include a list of the books they quote or recommend in an easy-to-use list, and even better, include a list of the quotes along with the books for easy reference.
This list is very much under construction. I’ll be linking all these books to Amazon for easy buying, adding authors where missing, and adding many more. Got anything missing from my list that you think I should read as part of my literature review for this book? Please let me know, that’s why I’m doing this out in the open.
