Dust

• Dust in the Universe: Similarities and Differences by K S Krishna Swamy. World Scientific (2005); ISBN 981-256-293-1. Good for general description of all types of dust in the interstellar medium. English is poor, so not easy to understand some things stated. Good for an undergraduate introduction to the field.
