General Books about the oil industryThe following titles are slightly randomly selected. Of the UK titles, the books by Christopher Tugendhat and Anthony Sampson were perhaps groundbreaking. Marcello Minale's book is the only design-led book looking at modern service stations. Apart from the World Petroleum Directory, the annual FT Oil and Gas Yearbook (formerly known as Skinner's) and the Oil & Gas Journal annual directories can be valuable for providing company summaries.
