Should I wait till the end of first week when unit guides are handed out? Or buy them now?

Well, i reckon its probably a better idea to wait untill end of first week.

Just incase they make any alterations or need to mention something or tell you which books you actually *need*.

They might warn you to not buy a 2nd hand book for X reason as well (i've seen this for one of my subjects).

Don't have much to lose by waiting i reckon but then again a lot of the 2nd hand books on monash marketplace might also get snapped up by then so its up to you.

You're lucky you at least have your book list, I still have no idea of mine.
Ancient Persian Proverb; " I Wept because i had no Shoes, until i saw a man with no feet!"

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.
-Martin Niemoller, a german pastor

What degree are you doing?

Check the monash portal if you haven't already
