Books and notes and their where abouts
Its come to my attention that over the last 10 years or so, I have lent out to various students ; books , notes and various manuals, now the time has come for people to return them to their rightful place, my book case. In order to provide assistance to new and old students alike, I have created a diverse library of a rather eclectic sort. With the help of this reference library I can lend books to students as the need arises, or more importantly as the questions arise. The cost of these books has been quite considerable over the years and some are hard to come by, never the less it would be greatly apprieciated if the books could be returned, and allow others to benefit from them, if however you still find them of help in your training hold on to them and write an essay on how they have benefited you and helped on your journey for knowledge, you can email me with the fruits of your efforts……..
