We are often asked during our training courses for suggestions for further reading. Our small bookshop offers a physically embodied ‘book list’ for those on the premises and the list that follows might be helpful for those at a distance.

The list is divided into subject areas though some books could just as easily be listed under other headings. The top of each pile has the titles we consider most helpful. Some of the piles could be much bigger!

In the interest of full disclosure: the books link to amazon.co.uk and earn us a small commission if make a purchase (though, of course, we’d prefer you to come and visit our real shop in person!).
