For the US, (and Canada too ?) it'll be hard to do better than
     http://tug.org/books/
which started this thread.


For Antarctica, the hard part would be getting there to collect it.
  :-)


As for your 'Applications Table', are you going to add the utilities
mentioned in the  'Gems from Japan' thread: RPN2TeX and AutoTeX ?

The latter is really neat, for setting up automatic processing
of TeX/LaTeX source that changes regularly.
(It's an alternative to using a Makefile.)

The former app is just verrry cooool.


Cheers,
