The "classics"

I am cross-posting this because this list is of interest to many.
I have been collecting a list of "classic" books that I use in my job.
Many are C/Unix oriented but many are not. I would like to solicit other
people's opinions (Esp. people like Torek,Spencer and Gwyn !!!!). Hopefully
this list will help to prevent questions like: "What is the best book
on bladyblah?" I would like complete information, ie Authors' full
names, Publisher, Publisher's Address, and ISBN and Subject.
With all of this information, it makes it MUCH easier to order the book.
Rather than start a flame war/good/bad/ugly contest, I am presenting
this list as a SUGGESTION to what is out there. If you don't like one of
the books listed, remove it.
I would especially like suggestions for more numerical methods and graphics
books as my exposure is limited but my interest high. I have left out
certain books because I did not have complete information. I will be
creating a similar list for PC's and Mac's so I'll take them too.
This list is formatted for use in the "bibtool" family. Cut out
all the garbage before and after the list and run indxbib on it. With
the database it creates, you can search for books based on certain
keywords.
Enjoy (Merry Christmas)
