There are twelve pages devoted to the Metaphysics in the Bibliography of the Cambridge Companion to Aristotle, edited by Jonathan Barnes (Cambridge University Press, 1995). (pp. 345-57); so my list here is idiosyncratic and selective. It includes what I think are good, reasonably clear approaches to basic topics covered in our course. Other readings are also good, of course, but probably aimed more at scholars in the field.
