SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY

This section lists useful information sources. For the sake of compactness, the book list here is short. For longer lists, see the online or paper bibliographies available. I've prepared a list of many books and article readings in CMC and computer networking. That file is the CMC December bibliography, listed below.
