Textbooks

[santaman2000]

studied an oncology degree and then continued post grad, we were taught to use primary references over text books? I only owned a couple of text books, one of which was Grays anatomy that was gifted to me by an uncle, in all honested it wasn't that useful but I have just looked it up and the OP has opened my eyes its now £150! Crazy indees

Yeah, I can see where that would especially be true in a medical field. Hard copy books would tend to go obsolete rather quickly.

My tutor likes up to date things but in Archaeology thats not always possible.

LOL. It does seem like a contradiction doesn't it? Anyway, good luck with your quest for affordable alternatives.
