This bibliography is not intended to be exhaustive. With the exception of the "General Information" section, it provides resources, which were recently written or updated. Those resources contain bibliographies for those wishing to peruse older volumes and wisdom.

As for the General Information section, most of the entries date from the Nineteen Eighties, some are earlier. The volumes are not generally available; many are out-of-print. A good university library (University of Arizona, Tucson, or University of California, Riverside) and the American Oil Chemists Society in Champaign, Illinois are starting places. If you wish to purchase the book or do further research of your own, please go to www.abebooks.com, an excellent source for obtaining out-of-print and recently printed books.
