 :(
I wondered about that last week when I tried to get in.  What motivates people to do things like that???  >:(  It's such an excellent reference, and how could it possibly offend anyone?:huh:

Do you know how to fix it?

Nice to have such a helpful host. There was a Trojan installed too but I don't think that would affect PCs as it is PHP specific. While the bad stuff is all removed, I will wait for the developer of the bibliography to try and find a fix for the security hole as if I switch it back on, the same hacker could return and do it again.

The bibliography is finally back on line again, nearly 1800 titles.  :chky:

For some reason the category sublisting has stopped working... hmmm! But you can search on a word.

It would be great if you folk can send details of your favourite glass books not yet included, along with a list of contents, any particular names/coverage that are included in text and an opinion/review.

Best add as a posting here so I don't get duplicates, thanks.
