Books! Yippee!!!!

A lot of these books are expensive. They are mainly used for academic purposes, not for use by the general public.
You won't find Sitchen or the Necronomicon here, sorry, I deal with reality as often as possible.
A few of these books are Ugaritic/Canaanite, not properly Sumerian or Babylonian; I happen to like Asherah.
The book called The Image of the Netherworld in Sumerian Sources is included because it is nearly impossible to find a book on that subject.
I did catch a major error in it, but otherwise I recommend waiting on that one until you are familiar with the mythology.
