Textbooks

Practical information

All of these books can be ordered through Amazon.com. They also has a service for used books which can be anything up to 80% cheaper. You may need to log your credit card details with Amazon which will allow you to buy with the “One Click” option. I (Richar Griffiths) have been doing this for years myself, and have never had any difficulties. If you use the used book service, make sure that you get the right edition. Also don’t get discouraged if the first choice does not send international orders, try the next in the list.

All the books are also available in SelexyzKooyker, Breestraat 127, Leiden.
