Important Note: the vast majority of Christians do not need a reference library nearly as large as this. Teachers who dig into Greek and Hebrew (not all are called to study in the original languages) will find most everything in this table to be useful to them. Most people in the body of Christ, particularly non-teachers, need far less. I would still suggest the study Bibles, Bible handbooks, and topical resources (all purchased and accessed via OliveTree in my system) for most people, however.
