The following bibliography was compiled by John Thomas and James Rusk
for the North Texas Skeptics. Free use may be made of this list to
promote the understanding of the subjects referenced here, but no
commercial use should be made without the consent of the authors.
Printed copies of this list may be obtained from the NTS for free
while supplies last. This file was produced by OCR conversion of a
typeset work. To that extent, some character substitutions may be
present, for which I apologize. Also, the printed document used
italics and bold where appropriate. These were naturally discarded in
the conversion to plain text.
