Desert Island Discs is a long-running BBC Radio
4 programme. Guests are invited to imagine themselves as castaways on a
desert island, and asked to choose the eight pieces of music they would
take with them; we'll do the same thing but with textbooks. By playing
along you can help compile the ExcelCalcs essential textbook list.
I'll add the Amazon links for you (I have some software to do this) -
its just the titles I need. Aside from the books, you are
also permitted to take one CD and one luxury item which must be
inanimate and of no survival value. I have set up an area in the forum for you to look at other user's Desert Island Textbooks or to add your own Desert Island Textbooks. From your entries the All Time Desert Island Textbooks Chart is compiled - see below.
