    We get the CA 2005 book. Nice thick legislation book that I'm sure all students who take unit have to have. No notes, no writings in the legislation book, just the book. It wasn't that bad. I could remember most of the statute numbers, replaceable rules were a god sent, though Related Party Trasfers caused me a mild panic until I remembered to use the index ^^;;;
