ACE Bookstore

Maintaining your skill set is a fact of life in our business. There are lots of ways to stay current, but we find self-study the best way to fit learning into our busy schedules. We have included a sampler of titles that have been particularly useful for us. Some of these titles are not easy to find. But through the magic of the Internet, purchasing books has become as easy as one click of your mouse (of course, finding the time to read the books is another story).

Not long ago, the obvious choice for on-line book purchasing was Amazon. While Amazon still (in our opinion) is the customer service leader, the other big booksellers are now quite competitive, both in price and customer service. We continue the ACE affiliation with Amazon, but we're also quite pleased with our relationship with fatbrain.com (formerly Computer Literacy).

The books on the associated pages are linked to Amazon. An equivalent storefront at fatbrain is available by clicking on the icon to the right or the link below. Either way, you will find the books you need. Caution: The "shipping and handling" fees tacked on to on-line purchases can be substantial. Beware!

Barnes and Noble
Bookzilla. If you don't know who they are, you must not be from this country.

Borders
Another monster book seller with a huge selection.

O'Reilly
Not a bookstore, per se, although you can order books from this site. Quite simply, O'Reilly is the finest publisher of computer books and has been so for quite some time now. In a class by themselves, their site is always worth a visit. And remember, if you're a member of Interex, you get a discount on all O'Reilly titles.

Project Management Institute Bookstore
The best selection on the planet of books and training materials related to project management. Since most IT projects fail due to project management issues, you just might want to spend some time at this site. Better still, become a member of PMI.

Stacey's Professional Bookstore
Not quite the nerdfest of Computer Literacy, but a damn fine bookstore nevertheless. Great selection of computer books as well as recreational titles.
