This page is all about books that I read, would like to read, am
reading, or even that I've written!

Books with me as author
There are only two of these. The first one was all my own work, and the second
was one where I did the updates for the fourth and fifth editions.
-
Introduction to PC DOS
-
This was one of the earlier books on DOS, and to my surprise I was
approached by the publisher and asked to write it. Originally it was to
have been on MS-DOS, but then IBM came on board and wanted an IBM
Personal Computer Series, so it became a book on PC DOS; there is little
technical difference. This book was published in many languages,
including Dutch, English, Italian, Japanese, Polish and German.
-
Fundamentals of Operating Systems
-
The primary author of this book, Andrew Lister, actually taught me about
operating systems. The book was based on lecture notes (which I still
possess) for an M.Sc. module at the University of Essex. I was asked to
update it for the fourth (and subsequently fifth) editions, although
initially the publisher had no idea that Andrew and I knew each other.
It's old, but still a useful book for the basics.
