+recommendations in the FidoNet C_Echo. These include books,
+magazines and compiler vendors.
+
+The format for book entries is as follows:
+
+Author _Title_, ISBN, Publisher, Year, List Price (Comments --
+ Recommmended-By)
+
+Prices are in $US unless otherwise specified. Where a book has been
+recommended by multiple persons, I've left off the names that don't
+have comments. Books are in alpha order by author's last name, or
+title if the author is unknown or unattributed. When there is more
+than one ISBN or price, the following suffixes will be used:
+
+.p -- paperback
+.h -- hardback
+.d -- with disk
+
+Magazine information includes the name of the magazine and the address
+and subscription rates.
+
+I cannot list information I do not have. It is possible that some
+information may be missing for a particular book. Comments are
+condensed from the messages I got the recommendation from and may or may
+not accurately describe the book. Lest they take over C_ECHO, any and
+all additions/corrections/suggestions should be sent to me netmail at
+1:106/2000.25.
+
+[DISCLAIMER: I make no promises real or implied as to the usefulness of
+any of the books here listed. The reason for the 'recommended by' is
+to give you some idea of who thought the book was good so you can find
+books that are recommended by folks whose messages make particular sense
+to you. (Or folks who forgot to mention author/ISBN/publisher/price so
+you can harass them.) These people are not in any position to promise
+you anything, either.]
+
+In response to a request by the FidoNet C_Echo moderator, I'm
+soliciting longer blurbs about any and all resources listed here.
+Please answer the following questions, either individually, or cover
+the answers to most of them in a paragraph or so about the book.
+
+a) Title or other information sufficient for me to determine what
+ the heck you're writing about
+b) When you last read/looked at the book (if it's been a long time,
+ I'll need to take that into account when selecting whose comments
+ to use)
+c) A brief description.
+d) A list of subjects where the book should be listed
+e) It's target audience (pick one or more of the following:
+ beginner, intermediate, skilled, advanced, expert)
+f) Your opinion of the useability/readability/understandibilty of
+ the book
+g) What types of folks you'd recommend it to
+h) What types of folks you'd recommend to pass it by
+
+...and anything you think I forgot.
+
+Your cooperation will be appreciated and your name will be listed as
+a contributor.
