Set books
I produce running vocabularies for set texts. They are sold at a fixed
price and you can print copies as required.
The A Levels (and some IB) cost £38 and GCSEs £28.
I have a huge back-list of nearly all the set-texts for the last twenty
years, and a few more. I hope that this will be published on my site
soon. Some students may want to read beyond the syllabus. If there
is something you are looking for, do ask.

for A Level, rather weak), Cicero Pro Sexto Roscio Group 1,

should - difficult, obscure, a crazy choice), Aeneid IV Group 4,
Herodotus 7 Group 1, Crito Group 1, Electra Group 3, Odyssey 16
