| Title | Author | Comments |
| Coil’s Masonic Encyclopedia | Henry Wilson Coil | The first place I look for verifiable facts, devoid of wild speculations and profuse dot connecting, regarding Masonic subjects. |
| Traveling East | Selected Essays from the TLR Proceedings 1985-2005 | I am proud of the work of this Lodge, and the knowledge, history, and relevant speculation shared in this book. |
| The Secret Teachings of All Ages | Manly P. Hall, 33° | An encyclopedia of esoteric information and obscure but relevant ancient, medieval, and renaissance history. Must be read with caution, as dot connecting and speculation are abundant. |
| Born in Blood | John G. Robinson | While I do not believe there is a causal link between the Knights Templar and Freemasonry, as is asserted in this book, the Knights Templar have, nonetheless, greatly influenced this Craft, and this book presents an engaging and accessible history of the Knights Templar. |
| The Lost Keys of Freemasonry | Manly P. Hall, 33° | One of my favorite interpretations of the Master Mason degree. |
