Here are the books that have been removed:
Some of these volumes might be difficult to find, so students are urged to
seek out copies early and, when books are out of print, search used bookstores
and online services (we provide links to two major online booksellers after each
title, above). The University of Kansas Oread Book Store tries to always
have copies of these books on hand. Address: Kansas Union, Lawrence KS 66045.
