Arsenic Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Along with a handfull of PDF's, and IPTV shows, my biggest resource of info is the almighty internet. But sometimes you just have to get the real deal... What ACTUAL books do you have on your bookshelf? My bookshelf. THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO TELECOMMUNICATIONS (4th ED.) LINUX...FOR DUMMIES (8th ed.) THE ARRL HANDBOOK FOR RADIO AMATEURS (2001) Not very impressive, but just wondering what some of you guys have. -Arsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metatron Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I have quite a few The Complete Reference books, mainly things like Perl, C++, UNIX and so on, other stuff like a first edition of Computer Organization and Architecture by William Stallings (VAX FTW), I have a load of the Black Book series. Any country I've been too I have the Lonely Planet Guide Book, well if they make one. Other then that I have quite a few political books and a few photography books.

Arsenic Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 That's awesome, it looks like the shelf at the bookstore. I'm cheap, I'll see a book, want it...then decide that I could probably find the information on the internet (which is free) and decide not to buy it. But I'm really happy with my last purchase, the telecommunications book, it took a lot of things I already understood, and put it together to form the big picture. Also, the dummies books are pretty good to, when your starting out, it's good to get the gist of things before you get into the nitty gritty of something.
