In our list of core readings, we recommend a manageable number of very good books from the scholarship on teaching and learning in higher education. But are these books the best books? Are they altogether in a league of their own? Not really. They are a few fine books among many fine books.

The upside of a short list is that it gives readers a good place to start. The downside is that it leaves out so many other books that readers may otherwise benefit from knowing about. So we present this supplemental list of additional well-regarded books on teaching and learning in higher education.
