Professional Reading

We've reviewed and recommend the following titles to your reference library. You may order these directly from www.amazon.com or the bookseller of your choice by specifying the ISBN number for each. It doesn't matter whether you start studying before or after you attend class, but it does matter that you begin.
Here's a thought:  Tell your gift-giving friends that books are now the perfect gift idea for you. Material things will wear out and break down... ideas can make you rich.  

Got no funds? Not an excuse: There's not a banker in town that won't make a loan for such tools to improve your career. 

Don't put the purchase on your credit card and pay exorbitant interest; tell the bank or your credit union to write you a signature loan, with your future earnings as collateral. They'll be delightfully surprised to see you.
