The other tool of persuasion that perplexes me is "well, you are the  
only one who feels that way". Now how does the person saying that 
really know that I'm the only one who feels that way, and what 
difference would it make anyway? Am I supposed to feel intimidated into 
going along with the crowd? It stumps me very time. They say it with 
such authority expecting me to cave right in.

Half.com is good. And there is very little difference between old and 
new editions -- the logic is the same, only the examples are usually 
updated.

Textbooks are usually not found in libraries unless they are on reserve 
in a college library --- they are too often stolen so the libraries 
don't even bother. I warn people of this because they might think that 
if the library doesn't have the book, it must not be very good.
