These books (except for Looking Backward) are available at Ned’s Books (Located at 2480 Bancroft near Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley). They are also available new and used online at amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com. Please note that because Looking Backward is not available at Ned’s Books, and it will be the first book we read, it is important that you order it online immediately or access the text at the free website. If you have had difficulty obtaining this book by the first class, please contact me and I will bring a copy for you.
