- ASA Studies. Originally published by Malaby Press. Volumes 1 and 3 are out of print. Volume 2 has been reissued by Tavistock.
Some of the recent Bloombury monographs are also available as e-books directly and through a number of distributors that have institutions and libraries as their main market, although not via Amazon. See Bloomsbury's site for more information..
The next monograph will have papers from the ASA2014 conference in Edinburgh.
