This list is arranged alphabetically by title, and includes titles starting with A through L. For titles starting with M through Z, click here. I have included a brief description of each book to assist in your decisions.
Books can be ordered directly through Amazon.com. To order, click on the title. This will link you directly to the page on Amazon.com displaying order information for that book.

The price listed here is the cover price. Amazon.com frequently discounts their titles 10%-30%, but I did not include that information here, as Amazon's discounting policy changes frequently. To check the current price of a book, you must link to Amazon.com.
**NEW** Amazon.com now provides search capabilities of its entire site from associates' pages such as ours. The new search box is at the end of this page. Just type in your query, and you'll be linked directly to Amazon.com. You can still move back and forth freely between our site and theirs to complete your order.
Note: Some of the bibliographic information may differ slightly from that in my Research page. That is because some of these books are only available in hard or soft cover now, or have gone through one or more reprints from my original source. They are, however, the same in content. If there's a book from the research page that is not listed here, that's probably because it is out of print. You may be able to obtain a copy through a used-book store. For the most comprehensive bibliographic information, you can purchase our Researching the British Historical--The Victorian Era, available only through Literary Liaisons, Ltd.
