I hate instructors that use workbooks.

I got one book free from torrent, the other three were cheapo books on amazon.

Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.

look online for books...a lot of them can be found for free (not necessarily legal) or for reduced prices. Also, there are places you can rent books too...and I found that Amazon or half.com are a lot better than my school bookstores ever were, and you can get a guaranteed buy-back on a lot of the books.

The professor I have who is teaching geology, used to run copies off from his workbook and hand them out for the past years.(I had him for 2 other sciences.)

Then we create a lab journal, apparently the school told him he couldn't, something to do with copy-right issues or something.(really now how many teachers make copies from their books, it happens all the time)

So now instead of buying a $5 tabbed folder/notebook to keep and add stuff too, now its a $120+ for a stupid workbook.

The other one is for the study of personality traits and disorders.
