# Reference: Finite $p$-Groups

Hall and Blackburn made important contributions in the study of regular $p$-groups and $p$-groups of maximal class. From their work, one can understand that in the classification of groups of order $p^n$, we must have to make two main cases: $p\leq n$, and $p>n$. With this interest, I am searching more and more material to study small $p$-groups, and their classification. The books I referred are that of Berkovich (Groups of prime power order) and of Leedham-Green, McKay (Structure of groups of prime power order).

Beside these two main references, can one suggest other books/notes which contains study of $p$-groups of maximal class and regular $p$-groups?

(The book of Berkovich mentions one book in bibliography, that of A. Mann-Finite $p$-groups; but I couldn't find this book. Is this book or notes published?)

I am also interested with the book by A Mann who do many contribution to p-groups. –  Wei Zhou Dec 19 '12 at 10:50
The book Enumeration of Finite Groups by Blackburn, Neumann, and Venkataraman has a lot of information on $p$-groups. –  Richard Stanley Dec 21 '12 at 17:45

@Prof. A. Mann. As you have given many beautiful results on $p$-groups, I fasciate your book on $p$-group. I am very glad even if I know the content of the few chapter you have written. –  Wei Zhou Dec 19 '12 at 13:14
