Is it possible to get the books provided digitally for the course, physically?
 
Thanks

The physical texts for each module can be ordered on-line from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) for $US 100 per module.  Here is a link to the catalog:

Nope. If having hard copies were that valuable to you, you'd find a way to pay for them.

You may get lucky and find some of the books second-hand on bookfinder.com, but that's hit and miss. Judging by the convenience value that people place on hard copies, you may still end up paying a few hundred dollars for all of the books (if you could find all of them outside NTIS).

What's wrong with the .pdfs?

You can upload the PDFs to www.lulu.com and purchase a copy from them for quite a low amount ($15-20).  It's a self-publishing website but you can upload anything and get it printed.

Cool.
 
I was doing the resource module, and thought that all lessons were like that.
 
AKA -  Each lesson needs the book to do the lesson for the excersises.
 
I have now found out there isnt that system in ALL of them
So the need hqas removed itself
 
Thanks anyway
