These books are tools because they not only help us learn but also put knowledge to use. <\/p>\n<p>Help us fortify our library of useful books by submitting your favorite text for a particular subject including an explanation of why you think it&#8217;s essential. We want to feature that dog-eared book that you wouldn&#8217;t lend to a friend for fear you wouldn&#8217;t get it back. It can be the best beginner&#8217;s guide, or a slightly more advanced technical manual detailing materials or techniques. If you can, please include scans of pages that we can use to illustrate the book&#8217;s content.
