My system is to buy the new book in hardback
and the previous book in paperback.
Then I mark up the paperback with notes and update my webpages.
So I'm always one book behind on these pages.
I can't guarantee that these are exhaustive lists.

Finally, I am reading through the books again in order to update the pages.
I will upload the pages as I finish each book.
