Next to my horses, I love my books. These are some of the books in the bpe Library, listed alphabetically by title (I omit the word "The" from the title when in the first position, otherwise most would start with the same word). All have been invaluable in my research, but those in green have been especially helpful.  Of course, following this list is the "Wish List," containing the books I wish I owned.  I offer these lists as a guideline for researchers and welcome suggestions for additional material.
