One Man Banned Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I am a lazy bod and know that discussed somewhere here about books is a way that they get recelycled (kind of freecycled) We want to get hold of a copy of the Veterinary Formulary (basically a book of drugs you can give to animals). This will help us and all our friends when it comes to what your vet prescribes and the appropriate uses and charges! (Am I implying that vets rip us off?) If any of you are in these kind of things can you do a quick search. The book new costs around £75 which is a tad pricey!! Thanks peeps A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Have you tried eBay,& Amazon who also sell second hand books? You could also try here http://www.greenmetropolis.com./ but I think its mainly novels that they stock. Also try posting on your local Freecycle - you never know!!! Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 My friends is a vet, I'll ask him for you karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I wonder if vets have their own version of the BNF or MIMs, which are continually updated and the older versions are just thrown away . In which case I'd imagine a friendly vet would let you have an old copy. I doubt that one of these would be as comprehensive as the very expensive sounding Formulary, but you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 the best online place for second hand books I have found is http://www.abebooks.co.uk/ (you can specify UK or USA in the search box - I'd advise the former!) I use it quite a lot... I guess, though, with a second hand copy you wouldn't be getting the most up-to-date information.. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
