oh and with the exception of trying to print the pdf at home which will drain my ink cartridge at least once so i'm looking and burning one and getting another so say 50 bucks in cartridges, I looked into what it would cost to print it out at a officemax and it's cheaper to buy the book again. about 40 bucks black and white and 380 bucks -/+ for color.
And this is why I never understand why people buy PDFs to print out. If that's the only way the material comes, and you prefer to kill trees, then I guess that's understandable. But, if a dead tree version is available, you might as well take advantage of it. Personally, I love PDFs for two reasons. One, I have a LOT more room on my hard drive, than on my bookshelf. Two, you can search them.
