GIAL Textbook List (Fall 2009)

Here is a list of the required textbooks for classes this bimester, grouped by session and by course. Students may purchase books from whatever source they desire. Do not assume that a course has no textbook unless the book field says "none." For your convenience, the code column below should be interpreted as follows:

  • SIL: the book is published by SIL and/or is available from SIL Academic Bookstore in Hunt 117 on campus.
  • GIAL: the GIAL business office.
  • Public: no special source is recommended, so students should acquire from their preferred vendor, such as Amazon.com, HalfPriceBooks.com, or elsewhere.
