    Anyone getting annoyed about the amount of books you have to buy during your time in ITT?? already have 3 books to get for this semister....with 48modules over 4 years means 20 or so books at €60 a pop (books which you will never use again)...€1,200 :eek: money down the drain if you ask me

    The answer is, Don't buy them.

    Or use the library. Or the Union's second hand bookshop. Or any secondhand bookshop. Or borrow a mates.

    Or, like Giblet says, just don't bother.

    its not that simple to simply not buy them. in many cases you cant do without. Im nearing the end of my time there and id suggest just live with it! unfortunate as it is!:)

    library all the way!!
    Ive only ever bought one book in 4 years and I sold it on to some business sucker for the same price 2 years later.

    although we have a book thats required reading this year and we have been told there is only one copy in the library. Since the subject has just been introduced this year its unlikely anybody else will have it or I can buy it from the SU.
    doh!
