Samba books

There are now quite a number of books becoming available for Samba and we, the Samba Team, felt that it would be useful if a list of them was made available on the Web site.

The following lists all the books we are aware of in chronological order. If you are aware of any books that we have not listed, please send us information on them. We will only accept a title, author, publisher, ISBN and link to publisher's page, if one exists.

We are very interested to hear about non-English books, so please send along any such books as well, and, if they are simply translations of English books, please indicate that as well.

Send all information to Richard Sharpe.
