I have a few more on my bookshelf that I would recommend and I will list them in a future post. I've not said anything about each book, follow the links to find out more about each one. The links can say so much more than I can about them.

If you have any recommendations or think I have missed one please leave a comment.

Remember in these tough economic times don't pay full price use the Amazon New and Used section to make BIG savings.
