[sdiy] Book Recommendations

[Tom Wiltshire]

I learned an absolute ton by taking Don Lancaster's books out of our local library when I was teenager.

That was back when there were still libraries with books in written by people, instead of the internet full of stuff spouted by AIs.
I still have a folder full of photocopied pages, which was how I stored stuff I wanted to keep.
