Recommended ID Books

Every ID should be aware of the best practices and the proven capabilities of the elearning industry. After all, expectations from an ID has undergone a drastic change (Refer to my blog: 7 key questions every e-learning company should ask to Instructional Designers).

Quickly, I wanted to share the list of books that is said to be a must read for every ID. This list is a product of some 2 days research, so I think you can trust me for the fact that the books will be useful.
