Here are some popular and frequently referenced titles available exclusively to members and free of charge. These books are available solely as pdf files, to be viewed on a computer, laptop or tablet. They are no longer available in print, but we have selected to make them available electronically as much of their content remains relevant and useful, and members still ask for them.
We will periodically be adding more to this list so look out for announcements in CoramBAAF News for announcements, or come back here to see what we have added.
These titles were published by BAAF and CoramBAAF (the “successor” organisation to BAAF) retains ownership and copyright of all titles published by BAAF.
Please note: These files cannot be viewed on Kindles or other ebook readers as they are not in the appropriate format.
