Who has time to scroll through thousands of books on-line? We've compiled the perfect selection of books - many of them are from Pittsburgh area authors, so you can go directly to amazon.com and grab the ebook, or if you like the feel of an actual book in your hand, hardcover and paperbacks are also available.
