Well, there's always the red book, orange book, white book, etc. but that can get expensive. Are you looking for info on the hardware side (ie how the data gets on there) or data on the iso9660 filesystem? An old book "Mastering CD-ROM Technology" has answered all the questions I had. Mastering CD-ROM Technology by Larry Boden ISBN 0-471-12174-6 publisher: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1995 I especially found the info on the iso9600 filesystem useful. HTH -Dano
