The following books may be of use to candidates who are sitting the Ordinary Level Commerce syllabus. The list is not meant to be exhaustive and other books are available which can provide suitable material. It is not intended to suggest that a candidate should attempt to consult all of the books but rather select a few of them for study.

Candidates with little or no previous knowledge of the subject are recommended to read one of the introductory texts before using one of the main texts. The books within each category are to some extent alternatives, but there will be some variations in the syllabus coverage by each book and there will also be differences in emphasis. A single text can therefore provide only the main foundation for study and cannot be relied upon to cover every aspect of the subject, which may be examined.

In addition, Commerce is a subject which is continually evolving in a changing world environment, and a textbook can never be fully up-to-date. Some of the books listed have been recently revised than others, but they should always be supplemented whereever possible from contemporary sources such as newspapers and Government publications.
