Further Reading and Resources

I've just enrolled this site in the Amazon UK Associates programme. This means that if you purchase any book or CD through Amazon.co.uk through a link on this site, then I will receive a small percentage of the item price. Amazon's prices are not uplifted for this in any way, so you don't lose out and I get a small trickle of revenue to help offset the costs of the research.
