TITLE: Examples and Counterexamples in Commutative Algebra
QUESTION [13 upvotes]: There are Counterexamples in Analysis and Counterexamples in Topology. Is there any similar book for commutative algebra? I want to see some more (counter)examples for Atiyah and MacDonald's book. Let us say "zoo" of rings and modules.

REPLY [10 votes]: The best I can think of is Harry Clayton Hutchins' "Examples of Commutative Rings" published by UChicago Press (he was a student of Kaplansky). The second part of the book is just a long list of rings satisfying strange properties ("this, this and this, but not that"). The one difference with counterexamples in top is the lack of a good index/table putting everything together, so it can be (quite) hard to find a specific example.
