    That’s a great collection! Being a teacher, I always recommend interesting books for my students and your list will enable me recommending interesting and useful books for my youngest. Though I mostly take math classes and recommend online support for instance this site https://plainmath.net/ with math tutorials, so students get inspired doing mathematics. Thanks for this collection of useful books. We should read books and should also give books as a gift to others.
