The Ballistic Library

You looking to add to your library of books and want to support the site? Well your can do both. I’ve built up a library of books over the years which have all aided me in some form or fashion. Some books have been a great read others, not so much. I’ll try and help you out, maybe save you a bit of money and let you know what think yield’s the most bang for the buck and what is better left for another day.

Purchasing these books through the links provided will both help build your library and help support the site as Amazon gives us a small kick back.

Click on the title to be taken to my thoughts on the book, click on the photo to be taken to Amazon to purchase. The reviews may take me a bit to write, I’ve started by just listing what I have on the shelf, if you do not see a review and would like my thoughts before buying please shoot me a message.
