Having checked various closets with PCW related books and sorted out the duplicates, I did a quick inventory as well and herewith publish the listing for the benefit of all. The list below refers only to PCW dedicated books (unless stated otherwise), no software handbooks and manuals, and contains title, author, publisher, year (indication for e.g. the version of LocoScript described), language and number of pages. Plus the contents of the cover and, in some cases, comments from me. The latter does not mean that the relevant book is, or the others are, inferior, just an indication of the value I think can be attributed to that book. The listing is sorted alphabetically on title.
