Found way fewer than I expected with bibliographies. But also way fewer 2009-present books. The select few w/ nice beefy bibliographies:

  • The Joy of Clojure (Fogus/Houser)
  • The Linux Programming Interface (Kerrisk)
  • Systems Performance (Gregg)
  • The Art of Multiprocessor Programming (Herlihy/Shavit)
  • Machine Learning (Flach)

I counted 8/18 tech books on my shelf since 2009 with bibliographies - way fewer than I'd have guessed. This is even w/ some selection bias towards the type of book that would have a bibliography, I suspect.

I occasionally receive books from publishers and tend to keep them in a pile to the side of my shelves. I looked through that pile today and of 8 books, 0 had bibliographies. However, one had a "Further reading" section at the end of a couple of chapters.
