I've added links to Amazon and B&N so you can read the description of each book there, and for convenience. Do not feel pressured to buy from either bookseller. Buy your book wherever you're comfortable buying books. The links are not affliate links. If you have affiliate links or Amazon smile links that you want to use to purchase them, feel free to do so. If you want to buy from your local bookseller, that's awesome too. Also feel free to check your local library for copies.
