   I got a lot of value from A Field Guide to Genetic Programming[1] and Introduction to Evolutionary Computing[2] when I was studying this stuff.

   I've heard good things about Essentials of Metaheuristics[3] and Clever Algorithms[4] too, I would like to read them some day.

   I can recommend you the book Introduction to Evolutionary Computing by Eiben and Smith

   Although it covers more than just genetic algorithms.

   I miss the shelf full of O'Reilly books, though I only saw it a couple of times. Some kind of subscription thing, wasn't it? The O'Reilly books looked great en masse, when compared with jumbled shelves full of noisy Learn Java in 15 Femtoseconds-style doorstops. O'Reilly was really smart to go thinner when the rest of the publishing industry was in "never mind the quality, feel the weight" mode.

   Most of my books are purged but the ones that survived tend to fall into three categories. Code but at a higher level of abstraction (The Pragmatic Programmer, Clean Architecture, Design Patterns), hobby programming (Crafting Interpreters, Introduction to Evolutionary Computing, A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics) and those that are only tangentially related (The Hacker Crackdown, What Just Happened, What The Dormouse Said).

   I don't know if other people's libraries fit into those same craft/hobby/culture buckets?

   I guess I've got a nostalgia bucket too - not much call for 6502 programming manuals these days, but they mean a lot to me.
