CCSG
Books and Videos
The CCSG holds a collection of specialist books and videos for use by financial members. Currently there are 31 IBD related books, and 19 videos and other publications available. Limited numbers of each title are held so that there can be a long wait to see popular titles.
Requested books/videos are sent to members in the mail. An issuing agreement must be signed and returned as soon as the books are received. This also binds members to accepting responsibility for the titles borrowed.
Reviews previously published in CCSG News can be found here.
Members can request books and videos from the CCSG Library by emailing the CCSG Librarian.
The following titles are available from the CCSG Library:
