Hi Karen,

In addition to what the others have said, I offer the
following:

Best book (IMHO) - Code Reading: The Open Source
Perspective by Diomidis Spinellis. Cost: $49.99 and
ISBN: 0201799405.

Best On-line resource (IMHO) - The GNU Project and the
Free Software Foundation (FSF) at http://www.gnu.org
The most useful link (for me) on this site is -
http://www.gnu.org/doc/other-free-books.html

HTH,

DaLy
