My textbooks are getting very expensive as I'm sure you all know. My school requires me to purchase an online resource + the ebook. They say that you can purchase the hard copy if you so wish. I hate ebooks. However, buying both is going to push the price of each book into the $300 range. One of the text books is Brunner & Suddarth's textbook of medical-surgical nursing, (13th ed.). I noticed that the 12 edition is significantly cheaper. Would it put me at a disadvantage to purchase the 12th edition print book? I would have the 13th edition available online.
