Visit a Local Library
Many of the books and reference documents listed may be available through your academic or public library through their document delivery services. Your library will need the full citation, so be sure to bring the entire NARIC abstract with you or write down all the bibliographic information (title, authors, publication year, publisher, page numbers).
