I used to do the very same thing when I was
documenting CORBA API software because the
developers suggested it. It certainly does
take all kinds, doesn't it! <g>

My feeling is that as long as it's not overly
long, leave it in. If you help just a few of
your audience...

At the end of the overview/intro chapter in all the docs I do for this
company, I have a list of "recommended reading" - commercially-published
books, some official websites, etc. This related directly to the info in the
manual (ie, if we tell them they have to use PL/SQL, we supply the
title/ISBN of a guide to learning PL/SQL - how I get these titles is by
reminding the developers to let me know what references THEY used and which
ones they thought were good, etc).

Anyway, one developer says he never reads this section...
