Non Free Books

I have only included ones I really like. There are duds out there, fine to look at but we do not want to pay for them. These are not links, look them up from perhaps Amazon or the publisher. Amazon may have used copies at substantial discount. Some may have downloads that can be useful for electronic search.

Comment: Lots of short recipe or code snips. You can learn a lot of Python by seeing smart ways of solving common problems.
