Maintenance expert and Author, Terry Wireman is a great supporter of Reliabilityweb.com and Uptime Magazine and has contributed his knowledge and experience since we began in 1999. Recently we requested that Terry create a list of books he would recommend for any maintenance and reliability professional who was striving for something greater. This list he contributed follows and is linked to the MRO-Zone.com bookstore when possible and Amazon when not. We hope you find value in this list and that you will leave a comment at the end of this article.

Thanks for including Uptime in your recommended list. Please note that the authors of the 2nd edition (the first is out of print) are John Campbell and me. John authored the first edition on his own. I actually wrote the 2nd edition, at John's request, after he passed away in Nov 2002.
