Note that the lectures will follow none of these books strictly, i.e., you will (probably) use them rather as reference books than as standard textbooks. Time permitting, there will also be an online course book for selected parts of the course (you can find it here).

It is encouraged to learn from as many good sources as possible. One such is last year's lecture notes, by Andrew Stacey, which you can find here. Note, however, that they are last year's lecture notes, and may differ in content and terminology from this year's.

Additional sources (and other tips) will also be posted under Hints and tips.
