Useful resources

This is a small selection of sources that I’ve found useful. Books are available at publishers, on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. There are in paperback edition, some are in hardback or an electronic format. For specific publication requirements most journals have now websites for authors that must be consulted.
