Following is the list of required textbooks for Palmer Manhattan. Texts can be purchased at the Barnes and Noble on Fifth Ave. at 18th St. or online. If you don’t see your class listed below, there either is no text required or I haven’t heard back from the professor. I will certainly post any additions that come my way, so don’t worry!
