This Booklist will be periodically updated on this site and a downloadable version, available in Word (7.0 or higher) or a Text version, is available by clicking on the appropriate file format for your computer.
Links to online vendors or to book search engines of titles are provided by clicking on vendor or search engine name. In many cases, multiple search links are provided as certain titles fall out of publication quickly. Note that a few titles are "Search ONLY", which means they are out of print, or foreign, which necessitates use of a vendor who specializes in hard-to-find books.
If there are any questions on the use of this website, or a particular title you are seeking, you can e-mail Griffis Consulting with your questions.
