Which Version Should I Buy
We know that everyone learns differently, which is why we have created different ways for you to use our guides:
📕 Our printed guide is our original printed book. All topics are printed in greyscale, with full-colour card covers to protect your guide, and thick card tabs to help you quickly navigate between topics. Our printed guides use a wiro binding to ensure that youso your guide sits flat on the table. This is perfect for you if you like to have a real book to take into lectures, make notes in, and tab up for your exams.
📃 Our loose-leaf guide comes pre-hole punched (4 holes), ready for you to place directly into your own folder. If you like to create your own notes, but don’t have the time to copy out large sections of textbook (who does, right?!)… this is PERFECT for you! The hole-punched guide allows you to integrate your own study notes directly into your Law Answered guide and gives you the flexibility to re-order our subjects to suit your personal needs. Please be aware that this version does not include tabs or covers.
💻 Our MyLiveBook Interactive e-Book allows you to access your guide directly from your laptop, phone, or tablet. You can highlight, annotate, add photos and search your guide both online and offline. Links within the book allow you to quickly jump between topics. This is perfect for you if you like to work on one (or multiple) devices rather than on paper, or if you like to work on the go. You can access your notes on up to three devices at time.
🐐 The blended learning pack… the GOAT for learning. Including both a printed OR loose-leaf guide sent direct to your house, and immediate online access via our MyLiveBook Interactive e-Book!
