Enumerative Bibliographies

The bibliographical lists below are in their beginning phase as just lists of books. I will be converting the lists to proper bibliographical form as time permits. The long-term intention is to grow the bibliographies and annotate them, again as time permits. As the bibliographies expand, they will migrate to pages of their own.
