Given the subject line above, what do list members think ought to be on that
list. I'm assuming Bill's books plus Hershberger's Volitional Action. No
doubt some of Marken's scribblings, too (just kidding). If there is already
a PCT biblio compiled somewhere, please point me to it. In the meantime,
what goes on the Top 10?

I suggest the Top 11 listed at Mind Readings.com Books.
Not necessarily in the order in which they are listed -- but close;-)

Hi Fred,
Back in the early 1990s when I discovered that the CSG listserv existed,
I found it very helpful to read through the special ABS issue from 1990 --
American Behavioral Scientist, 34(1). (Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage
Publications). I don't know where to find it easily. I think at the
time I tracked down a university with that journal & made a personal
copy of each of the articles. It gave a nice overview of the PCT field.
I see the CSG website at
<http://www.perceptualcontroltheory.org/treepub.html>
makes reference to one of Rick Marken's articles from that issue, but
I don't see reference to the other articles. It would be nice if they
could be more widely available. If I remember correctly, some of Franz
Plooij's & Hetty vander Riij Plooij's (sp?) elegant work was in that
volume.
I don't know if this makes it a "Top 12" list by now...
All the best,
Erling

I also found that it is available on the net:

You have to pay a hefty fee to get access to the pdf copies of the
articles. It might be better to try to pick it up at a library.

Regarding the American Behavioral Scientist (1990) special issue:
Rick Marken (2007.06.20.1020)

That site does list the Table of Contents, which I've pasted below.
If someone does decide to track it down, whether through that site of
at a university library, the list below should at least whet the
appetite.
By the way, I think it was in this volume that I saw references to
the Haimowoods conferences, which led me to believe there were ongoing
annual conferences of the Control Systems Group. I think I finally
called David Goldstein, & learned of the upcoming conference in Durango,
which led me to meet some of you folks in person for a couple of years.
I'm really glad CSGNet exists, because I have not been able to attend
any of the conferences since, sigh... For what it is worth, CSGNet
helps keep me sane, or at least scientifically sane. (Now there's an
alarming statement. <:-o )
All the best,
Erling
