If you haven’t already done so can you please email Jenny details of your recommended textbooks for any courses you are teaching in the autumn, spring and summer terms?
We need this information as early as possible to give us time to check for new editions, and order them so that they are available for students when they need them. Please don’t assume just because we’ve got a copy or two in stock that we don’t need this info.
