Beowulf: Bibliography of Other Available Books
Note that on the Electronic Beowulf CD by Kevin Kiernan, on the first CD, in the file /CD/help/beobib90.htm, is a bibliography containing 479 entries. I could paste those entries into this page, but I think that would be going a little too far on copyright infringement.

The books marked with [????] before the ISBN number are probably out of print and some of the others are out of print as well. I have never seen any of the books on this list but I have found references to them in various places.

The best places to find out-of-print books are:
