Another way to save money on textbooks - beckysharp - 04-24-2006

Stumbled on to this today. Is anyone else familiar with Wikibooks? This is an open textbook format and it's free.

Here's the link. Check it out!

This is a history link, but I found it looking for Sociology resources.

Just put your subject in the search box and voila!

Smart find! I use Wikipedia/wikibooks a lot. I've even found material that is almost exactly the same as Instacert and supports IC very well. If I hit a term or concept in IC that I want more info on I search it in Wikipedia... may not work for everything but for most of the arts, it's reliable.
