Revision of Books About Wallace from Mon, 2014-10-27 16:59

A number of books have been written about Wallace and they are listed below. I highly recommend the one by Peter Raby as it is well researched and beautifully written. Also very good is Wallace's autobiography My Life, which is available for download in the "Literature downloads" section on the left of the page.
