The BBKA book list has been updated, and a new PDF version is available on the BBKA website - look under Learn - Modules - Book list.
In updating the list, priority was given to titles which are currently available from the usual booksellers and which cost less that £30. Many that are hard to find and/or well over the £30 target have been removed or sidelined; emphasis was placed on having a selection of affordable books for each module and assessment. There was also a move to remove some of the charming but dated titles.
The format of the list was also revised, since it was felt that a short list per module or assessment would be preferable to the large single matrix that had previously evolved.
Clearly the list is not exclusive - not being listed does not mean it is a bad book per se, rather that there are more relevant, current, detailed, or approachable titles on the same subject.
