From October, 1992, until its final appearance in August, 1997, my column in Windows Tech Journal included a "Book Buzz" section in which I recommended at least one book, usually but not always dealing with some aspect of software design or the Windows API. This page lists all Book Buzz selections published.
For your convenience, I've made arrangements with the Amazon.com organization so that you can place orders for any of these books that they stock, or can special order. An "order" button follows those titles in this listing. Simply pressing the button will link you to an area of www.amazon.com from which you can place an order.
In fairness, I feel compelled to tell you that although I earn a small commission on each order you place from this page, the primary reason for this arrangement is to make it easier for anyone who so desires to obtain a copy. Many of the Book Buzz selections aren't normally stocked by general-interest book dealers.
Select the year, or just scroll through all of them:
