Pick Books (Formerly the Pick Publications Database)

About this Project
 

This was the first comprehensive listing of books on the Pick System and its variants. The project was begun in 1991 by Jonathan E. Sisk. That's also the last year anything other than vendor documentation was printed, with Jon's "Encyclopedia Pick" being the final entry. His "Reality Pocket Guide" happened to be the first, ten years earlier. The listed is presented in alphabetical, not chronological order. A few of the most rare vendor manuals are thrown in for posterity.

​

We also invite you to visit our newly-curated photo collection of Jon's books.
