If you would like to save money, do try www.bookbrain.co.uk for price comparisons. I can heartily recommend it. Amazon and Google's services are also helpful.
Many of these books should be available for perusal in the SpRs room at the BRI. Please talk to SpRs about what they recommend. You may even find kindly ones who will lend or sell you books.
Please feedback update/ corrections/ further recommendations or any comments to Paul McCoubrie via the usual mechanisms.
