Screenwriting books dedicated to short films?

Question

Wonder if anyone can recommend any theoretical books that concentrate on short films and their narritives, rather than features?

I'm starting an MA in January and that's the subject we're covering in our first term so I want to get a head start(!).

Important: these books should be readily available in the UK only - either through Foyles, Borders or Waterstones in London (where I'm based) or through Amazon.co.uk (can't afford the import charges from Amazon.com).

I asked this last night and no-one answered so i'm hoping the Sunday afternoon hangover crowd will be more helpful!!!
