Results are reported from the replication of a 1971 survey of higher education faculty members’ perception of the most important books in their areas of specialization as well as for higher education students, more generally. The authors conclude that a) while there is consensus on a few books, choices are diverse and specialization-specific: b) Jossey-Bass is the major publisher: and c) the books tend to have a restricted national (U.S.A.) and temporal (published within the past two decades) focus.
