A Very Short Introduction
This is a list of the books from oxford's 'a very short introduction' collection. I haven't seen this collection specifically listed anywhere on pagebound so I thought I'd make it for myself and anyone else who's interested :) The books are listed in no particular order though the first books -so on the bottom of the list- are the ones I own and over the next few weeks I hope to add the rest of the books in this collection for a completed list of 800+ very short introductions
non-fiction for the information age
