At work, I'm working on a list of books the company will be looking into investing into for it's library. Below is the list of books and pre-priced out sources if anyone is interested in the books I currently think of interest:
(+++ Books I have not read, *** Books I have read, the more */+ the better the book in my opinion.)
Also below is “The Magic of Light” - this is an investment book and a good book to read (the white light design theory) - if there is more than one copy, put bids in on all of them... They are worth in the range of $150 to $200. Per copy. I got my own copy for $145.00 last year and it’s well worth more. On the other hand, I could kick myself for not buying it while it was still being published and in the $20 to $30.00 range.
