Course books - you buy them yourself

People also have books for personal enjoyment. The uni can't help you here.

My booklet said that most psych students don't bother buying the book, and if we want to the uni's second hand book store is a better place to get them.

I asked them and they said that we get them in the first few weeks of term - for law anyway. It's a little irritating though coz if i got them now there would be every possibility my Dad might pay for them, but i'll be the one out of pocket buying them in Bristol!

Yes, unfortunately. And one word of advice, don't ever get anything out of date for law, you will find it hell of a task to update it, not worth it. Only a few boks for first year will be new editions, but confirm it is the LATEST edition before buying it. A lot of seniors will be selling their books, so don't worry. NEVER buy a second hand statute book.

Having a structures one is useful, as is the maths one. The soils one's not bad, although you can live without it. Materials could be worth it, because there are never any copies in the library. I wouldn't bother with any of the others.

I was given a website for extra reading that I should do and went on it and there was nothing there (www.bristol.ac.uk/sml) I should phone them but tis a bit late now and I haven't been sent any booklists, should I worry or just let it go?

I'd ring them if I were you. Whatever reading they want you to do probably won't be much anyway.

Hmm.. this thread has me a lil worried! I haven't got a book list for law - assuming they leave this until the last minute in case new editions come out? Has anyone else doing law got one?

EDIT: Oops, sorry Helki, just saw that u said they asked them about it. Little annoying we can't know about books now. Would help to feel slightly more prepared.

Anne Britton and Chris Waterson Financial Accounting, 4th edition 2006, Financial Times Prentice Hall.

Frank Wood and Alan Sangster Business Accounting 1, 10th edition 2005, Financial Times Prentice Hall

Jacques, I., Mathematics for Economics and Business, Addison-Wesley
Glaister, S., Mathematical Methods for Economics, Blackwell
Gujurati D.N. Essential Econometrics 2nd edition, New York McGraw Hill 1999

I got all this info on the website of the Dept. of Econ. Hope this helps.

Biology sent theirs out quite a while back, I bought my compulsory text back home because its cheaper but its a slightly different version, and now I have to spend money shipping it over (well my parents are paying anyhow) because its bloody heavy and didn't fit in my luggage. Grr.
