Rare Book School Reading Lists
Rare Book School makes the advance reading lists used in its courses
generally available. Each of these reading lists is provided with links
leading to the relevant Amazon.com page for in-print items on the lists.
Amazon's prices are competitive, and the links may be useful even if you
don't intend to buy the books, because of the bibliographic information
Amazon routinely provides (ISBN, edition or printing, availability of
hard-cover vs paperback editions, &c.). Bear in mind that the out-of-print
books listed (as well as some of the in-print books) may quite possibly be
found through BookFinder.com,
some of them at discount prices.
