This is a selection of materials used as reference guides for Pete's focus on both the 20th and 21st Century IBMs. They include IBM books, publications, and other situational books about IBM.
IBM Research and Bibliography Overview
IBM, over its 100-year history, has been one of the most followed, discussed, and documented businesses in American corporate history. ​These books are grouped into four categories: (1) The Classics, (2) The Executives' Books, (3) The Employees' Books, and (4) The Outsiders' Books.
​
​Books will continue to be added to this bibliography.
IBM's presses, beyond the usual technical manuals, seemed to run 24 hours a day.  Most individuals are aware of the iconic THINK Magazine that started in June 1935 and ran until 1999. ​Few IBMers are aware, though, that IBM also had a weekly newspaper called IBM Business Machines.
These publications are grouped into four categories: (1) THINK Magazine, (2) IBM Business Machines, (3) IBM's Heart and Soul, and (4) IBM Art Books.

Information is constantly added to these category.
These books are situational in nature. They are not directly about IBM and its leadership but they may evaluate an area of IBM technology or discuss IBM leadership styles that adds depth of understanding in any discussion of the corporation's history, the actions of its leaders, or behavior of its employees.
The best example is the first in this list: The Origins of Simultaneous Interpretation by Francesca Gaiba. It is a book about the evolution of simultaneous translation and its usage and effect on the Nuremberg Trial which—​without the context of history—​would seem to have little bearing on a discussion of IBM.

The 20th Century IBM and its technology seemed to be involved in most everything.
