Description
While working with students, caller coaches often provide references to materials to aid them in their ongoing development. The Technical Information For Caller Training document has a large Reference section at the end containing recommended materials.

The following table replicates and expands the information contained in that document section. The advantage of an online table over a hardcopy list is all the reference links are live and can be used to acquire the material immediately. The table is initially sorted in alphabetical order by item title (column 4), but may be sorted in either ascending or descending order on any column by clicking on the "up/down" indicators in the column header.

When the Availability column contains a $ it indicates there is a charge for the item. When Availability contains Out Of Print it is possible that used copies might be obtained by searching in sites such as eBay, Craigslist, or Amazon. For such items the link provided is a Google search on the item title, which hopefully may turn up a helpful set of results.
