IMHO, these > books are the definitive guides in their subject matter. I don't doubt that these are the best currently available books on their subject matter, but in the end, I don't think standards(7) should act as a bibliography. Yes, I know there are a few books listed there already, and, yes, I wrote the page. But my inclination would be to take the references to Gallmeister and Lewine out (both now rather dated), rather than add more references. And in fact, that is what I've done. (Adding more books to standards(7) would only lead me into temptation one day in the future.) So, sorry -- but I won't take this patch.
