Hello all,

I'll just state up front that this is for homework.  I'm currently
taking a composition class and I've picked software patents as the topic
for the final essay (argumenative/persuasive format).  For this paper, I
need references; at least two of them need to be from dead trees.  Does
anyone have any recommendations?  Print references are especially
desired, since Google is great for online stuff.  Books work, of course,
as do magazines, newspapers, and other periodicals.  Since there is a
potential for many people to recommend the same thing, I will summarize
any private replies to the list in a day or two, if anyone chooses to
reply privately.

Thanks for any help.  I'll be happy to share a PDF/SXW with those who
provide suggestions, or if you ask. :-)
