We often get emails to our Merlin Support asking us if we can recommend any Project Management literature. Many are new to project management and others just want to keep their skills updated. Well, we thought we would compile a list for everyone to refer to. We have put together an impressive list for your reference.

Feel free to send in your suggestions and book recommendations too. This list does not have to be a static one, but can grow with each suggestion. Furthermore, if anyone has read one of these books and would like to do a review for other Roundtable readers, I would be more than glad to put your reviews up on the blog here. Send your reviews to us.

For easy cross-reference you can access this list from the sidebar.
