Useful books
You can buy most of these books over the internet. However a few words of caution:
- Many of these books were published in the UK. Try to find a supplier in your own country but, if you can’t, check out the currency conversion rates before you buy. There’s an online currency converter at http://www.xe.com/ which will give you a guide, but most credit/debit cards use their own currency conversion rates which will be different;
- Books are heavy - if you are buying from an overseas supplier don’t forget that postage costs can add a lot to the total cost of your order.
