[Year 12 IT Apps] Text Books for Units 1- 4

[Andrew Shortell]

given the number of students it is really not worthwhile for authors to write for this subject any more

(said sadly as an ex-authour)

Nelson supports the text but paper based texts are very expensive to actually produce, ship , handle, retail, count, etc etc
