).
I have completed a tour of bookstores in the greater East Lansing area to find good sources of HTML reference books. Of all the stops that I made, I would suggest that the best places to go to find these are
Several places with smaller or less current selections (and which I would not suggest for this type of information) would be Walden Books, Webster's (both of which are in the Meridian Mall); the College Book Store on Hagadorn, the Student Book Store (SBS), Gibson's (near LCC) and our own on-campus MSU Book Store.
This list was current as of May 4, 1996. With
the way information on this topic is rapidly changing, I would assume that
this list will become outdated quite quickly. However, this list portrays
a representation of what I consider a "good" resource. The sourcebooks that I
consider to be excellent are marked by the mouse ().
You can visit the Information SuperLibrary to find many of the publishers of these books online.
