Reference Library

 

Copies of the books listed below are held in the MCofS reference library and are available for members use. They are available for reference in the office in Perth during normal business hours between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday (except local bank holidays). The office may be closed for short periods during the day when staff are out, so it may be best to phone before calling in. Coffee, biscuits and lots of opportunity to natter also available (probably get seconded to do some work as well!!).

Many were originaly review copies, and you can read the reviews in this website.

Should you want to buy your own copy, there are links with the reviews to Amazon.co.uk where they are available online.
