	Classic book (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In its classic sense, the term classic book means a book written in ancient Greece or ancient Rome (see classics).
		Most "classics" are at least 95 years old, and most authors of classics have been dead for at least 70 years, but sometimes we press the word into use to praise newly-created works.
		Most classic books are in the public domain due to their age (except those few books for which a government has granted a perpetual copyright), and are freely available online from Project Gutenberg at http://promo.net/pg

	Classic Cafes \| 'Classic Cafes': The Book (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Maddox's is a book with a well-researched argument to make us look again at this popular image by setting cafes in the context of their social and design history...
		These usually ended up in "classic" style Italian family cafes where, basking in the familial atmosphere (and plied with hefty slabs of buttered toast), my grandmother would tell me about her run-ins with Little Richard, Keith n' Mick and The Beatles at the local ballroom where she headed up the catering operations.
		After dozens of previously invisible locales made themselves known, I came to think of these places as 'classic' in the sense that they retained some or most of their old fittings; evoking a time when the country had seemed somehow to be in better shape, in better spirits.

	Amazon.co.uk: Design patterns : elements of reusable object-oriented software: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This book identifies some common program-design problems--such as adapting the interface of one object to that of another object or notifying an object of a change in another object's state--and explains the best ways (not always the obvious ways) that the authors know to solve them.
		The first half of the book is a large example, which reminds me of the mind numbingly boring and irrelevant case studies presented to me at university...
		If all had read this book, the software development cycle would be much easier, because we wouldn't need to produce tonns of documentations to describe a system, and we would gain huge benefits both in the planning/design stage and in the support stage.

	Amazon.com: Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		For each pattern, the book carefully presents the intent of the pattern, a motivating example, consequences of using that pattern, implementation considerations and pitfalls, sample code (C++ or Smalltalk), known uses of that pattern in real-world applications, and a list of related patterns.
		One of the most valuable contributions of this book is that it is designed not merely to help you identify patterns, but to give you a sense of which patterns are appropriate in which contexts.
		Overall, while this book is an extremely important contribution to software developers, it is structured in a way that makes the material difficult to absorb if you aren't approaching it with substantial previous knowledge about developing software.

	TFAW.com: Classic Comic Book Characters #5: Conan
		Although Conan first appeared in the pulp magazines of the 1930s, it was his debut as a comic book character in the 1970s that really rekindled interest in the character.
		The comics series was groundbreaking in many ways, elevating the standard of artwork and pushing the envelope of content with its savage approach to the "sword and sorcery" genre.
		Each statuette is packaged in a litho-printed full-color tin box and included is a vintage-style pinback button, and booklet about the character and his creator, limited to 750 pieces.

		The spirit of the ’60s counterculture is evident throughout the book, and the emphasis is on creating your own shelter (or space) with your own hands.
		A cult classic from the heyday of teach-ins and VWs, this large-format book may have inspired more owner-builders to build crazy structures than any other.
		How very fine it is to leaf through a 176-page book on architecture — from baliwicks to zomes — and find no palaces, no pyramids or temples, no cathedrals, skyscrapers, Kremlins or Pentagons in sight.

	Stroustrup: The C++ Programming Language (Second Edition)
		This book was published in 1991 and is not up-to-date.
		Bjarne's book does something that none of the other C++ textbooks have succeeded up to now: he integrates a tutorial on the use of the language along with the gnarley details of exactly what is legal.
		The need for people to ``decompress'' in the new paradigm is inevitable, but I've found it can be accelerated by the ``just in time'' approach (ex: it gives people a concrete formalism within which to express their thoughts).

	Penguin Reading Guides \| Eichmann in Jerusalem \| Hannah Arendt
		Critics attributed her coverage of the Adolf Eichmann trial to a host of purposes other than simple reporting, such as exposing the role of the Jewish leadership in the Holocaust and raising larger questions about German guilt and the nature of totalitarianism.
		Arendt was prompted to clarify her intentions in a postscript to the book, claiming in its final sentence, "The present report deals with nothing but the extent to which the court in Jerusalem succeeded in fulfilling the demands of justice" (p.
		Much of Arendt's book illustrates that the larger issues were not set aside during the Eichmann trial, showing how the case "was built on what the Jews had suffered, not on what Eichmann had done" (p.
