      This is only a partial list of book summaries.  
  
STARTING FORTH  by Leo Brodie
    Prentice-Hall  1981
        This is probably the best book for beginners. 
        It starts with the simplest examples and then continues to 
    cover fixed point vs floating pt, how forth works, and extending
    the compiler with CREATE  DOES>.  Includes tips and plenty of
    examples.
        Unfortunately the examples sometime contain words that don't
    adhere to one of the standards but these are usually pointed out.
    Also, some people don't care for the cartoon examples.


THINKING FORTH  A Language and Philosophy for Solving Problems
     by Leo Brodie      Prentice-Hall  1984
          Demonstrates how to write better Forth.  Full of examples.
    Interviews with several experienced Forth programmers show how
    they use it for real life problems and how they differ in their 
    approach.    Highly recommended to those beyond the beginner stage.
