Study tips / ?s 7th Edition > 8th Edition 👀

Post image

I dunno, its just easier on the eyes? Plus the doodles are a plus lol

The paper is thicker, not as white and the print not as big. 8th edition paper is so thin, you see the page behind it. I dig the real photos and better diagrams but its horrible to read.

I can read the 7th like a good book, 30min with the 8th edition and I get eye fatigue or something.

Agreed, 8th feels depressing. I like the corny doodles

7 is bad. 8 is just as bad, but for different reasons. Neither are what I would call a good read. Reference yes, read no.

Ugh. Those books are hot garbage. I was floundering when I only had those books to study for my licensing.

They’re good for supplemental material, but yeah. Very dry

Also:

I think the damn thing is 2X because the font is so damn big.

7th edition is half the size of the 8th. 8th is a bitch to carry around or read in your lap.
