Library
This is a spreadsheet I use to keep track of my books. I use these and whatever I can find in the public library for my research. Just because I own a book, doesn't mean that it's the best reference, but I believe all of my books have some value. Many of these I got used because of their low price. This page would be a good reference to anyone who wanted to buy me something, and did not want to get me a book I already have. Feel free to get me any you think I'm missing.
The categories are broken up mostly for my own convenience. I put them into topics arbitrarily. The modern section is just the books that were sitting close to me when I updated the sheet. That section should be a few times longer, but not many people looking here will likely be interested in The Mechanics of Deformable Bodies, The introduction to thermal fluid dynamics, etc.
