Gregg bibliography


I think it is time to assemble a comprehensive Gregg bibliography, in order to assist people buying books off ebay in getting the books they need, without making unnecessary purchases. For instance, some people might want to be sure to buy a book with an answer key. The bibliography ideally should include basic info about all Gregg books as well as photos of their covers and sample pages and a brief review.  I hope others will collaborate in this project. Here is some info about the books in my library:
