#51: Second hand bookshops

If you are planning on teaching the new specification, there will be a need for resourcing the new course.

If you are offering this course for the first time, perhaps alongside existing GCSE Geography groups, it is important to consider the cost of setting up a new course (SLT will also be considering these costs as well).

This may include raiding your local second hand bookshops, or some of the online options such as ABE Books and sites like VINTED.


You will perhaps know of some of the classic books that need to be in your collection, and we will be showcasing them on this site as time passes, particularly as first teaching approaches.

We are also putting together a suggested reading list for the course, and when the draft specifications emerge we will also produce specific reading lists for each topic, which will include books, journal articles and other texts.

We'd also welcome your suggestions for the most classic Natural History texts.
