CLPE
Core book collections are good quality texts selected for
particular purposes, by CLPE staff, in consultation with teachers,
with specific criteria in mind for each collection. They are
detailed in The
Core Book List published by CLPE and updated every
two years - the new Core Book List 2008 is now available. The
new core book collections are available for viewing
in the library.
