Bookshelf

Side note - [Stripe Press] is my all time favorite publisher in terms of build quality of books and content. Really love what they're doing, and can't wait to see their movie on Steward Brand.

Here's all the books I have on my bookshelf, in no particular order. Books I thought were particularly good I put in bold.
