The following list, which is not in any particular order, will help you broaden your perspective. It is not possible to emphasise any particular one. Availability alone may be a substantial limitation as some titles are only available second-hand. You should focus on those that appeal most to you and appear most helpful. Those in bold type are classified as Instructional and those in plain type as Reference. Instructional books marked with an asterisk are regarded as particularly helpful. You may bring some Reference books with you into the examination (for pattern guidance).
