Media Reviews
Reviews of previous edition: I bought these books for modules 1 and 2 and they are amazing. There is so much detail packed into the pages, but it is neither flat in tone nor boring. It is easy to follow and digest and all the information is there. This series of books are brilliant, really easy to understand, great layout and stick to the point. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone! The moment you pick these books up, you are immediately absorbed in the straightforward and easy-to-understand diagrams, the simple and no-nonsense explanations and most importantly the tips and hints to answering the exam questions perfectly. These books really are excellent and include helpful hints from examiners which are things that you may not have thought of otherwise or that may just jog your memory in that exam situation!
