Routledge Encyclopedia of Interpreting Studies
by Franz Pöchhacker (Editor)
The ultimate book about interpreting research! Clear explanations of what research has shown about hundreds of interpreting-related headwords. Great book! But prohibitively priced!

Consecutive Note-taking and Interpreter Training
Yasumasa Someya
Includes very interesting history of training in Japan (a system that is agency-run with graduates tied to the agency and yet a system that is very successful – imagine suggesting that in Europe!) and a summary in English of Michaela Albl-Mikasa’s very important PhD on Note-taking as an inter-language.

To Know How to Suggest …: Approaches to Teaching Conference Interpreting
Dörte Andres & Martina Behr (eds.)
Great book for interpreter trainers, or anyone looking for a basic introduction to the history of interpreter training and research.
