"The best laid
plans of mice and men.........are about equal."
[These are now sorted into a list of
abbreviations
that I use in the CTT writings...hope it helps.
I have also begun filing previous years books in their own file--to shorten file access times.
I have all of

and most of
1995books.
New
acquisitions...(and old "I brought them in from the garage"
ones!)...
Also, note that these books are NOT uniformly
cited in the technically-correct fashion, but only to the
extent needed to identify/find them yourself.
Note: as of Oct 20, 2013 I will no longer be putting entries into this log for books
purchased from Logos software. Since citations from those works will be in-full,
there will be no need for abbreviations and name-anchors. I will periodically
update the PDF of those titles on the Book Abbreviations page, though, as I can.
