What's On Your Bookshelf?
|Matt| asks What's on your bookshelf? What do you keep close at hand? This is a picture of what's sitting on my desk at the moment.

Others stay around all the time as reference books - mostly on research, grammar, and writing. Lots of these are old, too. The Kilpatrick and Zinsser books I've had forever. I still love 'em.
