With any piece of equipment or software, there are a myriad of features that
none of us know how to use. There are even little tricks to make things
work faster and more efficiently. If you're in the market for books
providing this type of information, look no further. You can find pretty
much anything from how to write HTML to generator maintenance for industrial
settings. Shop carefully and wear your hard hat!

Bookpool - While this
site doesn't cover the industrial side, it hits heavily on the software,
computer, web design, and many, many, related areas. The prices are
outstanding compared to the book dogs like Amazon and B&N. While
they don't charge for delivery themselves, their agents for shipping (like
UPS), do. There are no actual quotes, but their are some helpful hints
on how to lower your shipping costs!

Barnes and Noble - What can
we say? While the giant still is priced a little higher on some items,
it makes up for it with inventory. A vast, vast inventory of books on
pretty much every topic mentioned in the introduction. Delivery for standard ground orders cost $3
plus $0.95 per item.

Amazon - With an enormous technical
books section to boast, you might be wondering what they don't have. The
answer, they have it all!! It's pretty much a toss-up between Amazon and
B&N. Prices are pretty much the same as B&N, just look at what
the availability of the book is before you decide on which site to use!
