Books, Journals, and Websites used in my research, and often cited in my writing.
Resources for my research on Practical Geometry are found on my blog post: https://www.jgrarchitect.com/2017/05/bibliography-for-sah-latrobe-talk-may.html
I own most of the books and journals listed below, many of which are out of print in their original format. I have linked to Google books or publisher websites wherever possible, in order to help readers find nearby or existent copies. I also add citations to books referenced in a specific post at the end of that post.
