Just had an email from NICEIC, clearly they are getting in early, the RRP for the 18th edition is £95!! as with most books its likely that the likes of Amazon and others will be cheaper.
NICEIC though are offering a 'discount', you can pre-order a copy today for just £85.... talk about day light robbery..... I can only assume the people on the IET board will be getting there bonus this year with these prices..
had a further look though and for £128 you can get the 18th, GN3 and OSG. that is more reasonable but still a damn P**s take really...

It will leave you feeling blue when you have to pay for it and then read the latest daft changes with no application of common sense

Do what I usually do. Get the company to buy one. Rip the pages out, scan and OCR them and then bind the pages back together again.

Just to add. The scanned copy is for work, so its easier to search.

Luckily my boss is paying for mine. It is, however, a con the amount of money they charge for paper or electronic copies.

Is cash taken on order or delivery?

Blue ink cartridge has just gone on me old printer.....I don't think I'll bother replacing that, either.

I've disagreed with you:

Because its not just 1 book ..................... its several books, time off work to do an exam we HAVE to pay for ................... for what?

The changes, like the last 2 amendments are scraping the barrel.
