Thread Name: BS: Reference Books you OWN and use often
Subject: BS: Refrence Books you OWN and use often
Wesley S started a fine thread on re-readable books. That got me to thinking about the books I use most often and most of them are reference books (so often that I had to buy them). So:
American Heritage Dictionary
Oxford English Dictionary (in 2 volumes and came with a magnifier!)
The Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance
Ardnt and Gingrich Greek Lexicon
The Nestle's Interlinear Greek-English New Testament
The Septuagint (in Greek)
Biblia Hebraica
The New Jerusalem Bible
The World Almanac
The Harvard Dictionary of Music (My son currently has this)
The Encyclopedia Americana (1953) because I've always had it, that's why!
The Scott Catalog of US Postage
Those I use the most. Rap, if you weigh in here I'd be interested, not necessairly that you "own" them but you do have a wide selection available to you, don't you?
