This page is for a list of the books in my personal science library, including a few biographies or books that are biographical sketches or have much biographical material. I have separated the titles into some major categories. Some of these books may fit in more than one category or a more specific category, but I have listed them in only one. For some, I note additional categories from the title page in parenthesis. I have been slow to create this list because I concentrate on history articles. The list could be helpful for research and to have the books in proper citation form. The list is perhaps 20 percent complete (based on shelf space used). I intend to finish it, probably piecemeal, as time permits. Donner60 (talk) 08:14, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

In general, my Library (bibliography) pages have been created so that I can more easily research my books to find references to add content or references to articles or to create new articles. Links are on my user page. The titles are shown in Chicago Manual of Style format. Note from Wikipedia:Citing sources. July 17, 2016: "While citations should aim to provide the information listed above, Wikipedia does not have a single house style, though citations within any given article should follow a consistent style. A number of citation styles exist including those described in the Wikipedia articles for Citation, APA style, ASA style, MLA style, The Chicago Manual of Style, Author–date referencing, Vancouver system and Bluebook." I use the Chicago Manual of Style format because I found it easier to understand and edit when I started contributing to Wikipedia. It can have one or two more pieces of information than other formats. In 2018, "magic links" have been deprecated and the advantage of automatically checked ISBNs can be attained by using the correct format for ISBNs and still use the Chicago Manual of Style format. Wikipedia:Book sources and Help:ISBN are pertinent Wikipedia pages. I occasionally also have listed some more frequently used books in the more standard style.
