Article Abstract:
The $49 'The War in Vietnam: A Multimedia Chronicle' has news clips, newspaper articles and reference materials that provide excellent insight into how the war was fought. The $59 set of 'Passage to Vietnam: Through the Eyes of 70 Photographers' also serves as an excellent reference.

The National Gallery complete illustrated catalogue
Article Abstract:
The $150 CD-ROM and book set of 'The National Gallery Complete Illustrated Catalogue' is an excellent reference source for seeing the entire collection, but the quality of the pictures is not of high caliber. The CD-ROM lacks information about the pictures as well.
