AnonyMouse_37030 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I did my DPP many moons ago through college where there was a library so we could borrow books. I did end up buying some because I found I was using them so much I couldnt function without them. I would however suggest having a peek if you can before you buy any this is because some of the suggested books at that time I found tedious and hard going whereas others I really enjoyed (hence the purchases)....Waterstones often have a section which is well stocked and you can have a peek and look see for info without having to commit to buy. Also dotn forget your local library...ours have an online catalogue now so you can search, request and reserve books. good luck best thing I ever did!

SueFinanceManager Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 im looking into buying the books. Do look for books on Ebay....other students may be having a turn out and you might be able to get a second hand copy cheaper. Amazon also sell second hand books and if you don't mind if a cover is bent etc they can be good value. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
