# Some Good Book Recommendations From the Experts

By Roy Osherove June 12, 2003 In [.Net Quotations](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-quotations)

**Historical article** · Originally published June 12, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

When in need of a good book, it's always best to ask the experts which book is best.

I just saw on [GotDotNet](http://www.gotdotnet.com/) that the **Wintellect** folks posted [a whole section of recommended reading](http://www.gotdotnet.com/utility/tracking/tracklink.aspx?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.wintellect.com%2fresources%2frecommendedreading.aspx), both about .Net development and on general development topics.

Some of these books are already in [my recommended reading list](http://dotnetweblogs.com/rosherove/story/6802.aspx), but some aren't. Not to worry, I'll add them soon :)
