The Garbage Collection Handbook site (gchandbook.org) is the online companion for a respected CRC Press academic text by Richard Jones, Antony Hosking, and Eliot Moss. It's been online since 2011 and is hosted on University of Kent servers, which gives it strong institutional backing. Security checks come back clean — modern encryption, clickjacking protection, no blacklist history — and the domain has been consistently renewed for 15 years. That's a far better track record than most fly-by-night academic resource pages.
What's missing? The site has no author contact info, no about page, and no social media links. For a book published by a major academic press, you'd expect at least an errata email or a link to the publisher's site. The absence doesn't make gchandbook.org a scam — it's clearly a legitimate project — but it does make it feel a bit neglected. If you're a student or researcher looking for the second edition's content, this site is a trustworthy source. Just don't expect to reach the authors through it.
