This has been lying in my drafts folder for weeks now, and I just don't find the time to give this list the final attention that it probably still needs. So I'm sending this list as it is now. Some of the titles have a link (preview, sometimes full download). Those marked with "(PDF)" are available through journal databases. If you don't have access, I can provide you with the file.
I want to apologize if any bibliographic information is missing; just ask if anything is unclear.

For the most part, this is a compilation of bibliographic information found on the internet - I've read only a small part of this, though I hope to get my hands on at least some of those books/ papers in the future.

This is a list of titles that are nowhere on the bibliographic list in the CAR-PGa homepage (not even in the "not available through CAR-PGa" section. The fact that some titles of CAR-PGa members don't feature there (like Dyszelski or Tresca) strikes me as a bit strange.
