how to get the books
You can buy the books from the FC Bookstore, or download them for free from this web site. You'll need books 1, 2, and 3, plus the lab manual. I'm the author of the books. I do not receive any royalty from sales of the books. You can choose to download the books for free and print them yourself, but you typically don't save any significant amount of money that way, and what you get is a big, thick, unbound stack of single-sided output.
