Thank you for the book list, I appreciate it.

I'm not a student, you might be thinking of someone else. I have spent most of my adult life working my way though school, and then later teaching (been running my own architecture firm for 12 years). This book list will allow me to self-teach - I hope.

I'll try Ann Arbor's main branch first, then U of M's north campus library. I won't be able to check anything out there, but I have my camera.

Like I've said, I'm trying to adjust my basic mindset, not solve a specific problem. The answer I get may be the answer to a question no one has asked, but it will be what it wants to be, and perhaps the way it should be.
