Books on My Wish List

The below list consists of the books on my wish list (as at 25 December 2007). I'll no doubt be adding more as the year goes on and I get more recommendations from the BCF!

I don't intend buying all of these books this year, especially as some of them will be difficult to track down. Items will be moved to my 'Books Bought in 2007-2008' post as I track them down.
