I dont know why u r all surprised. you only want the pdf because you dont want to pay! Why should they make it easy for you? Teachers are also the worst pirates as well. Dixon and riley are niche books that students go out and buy.

I've always found that I use my eco book (Dixon's) alot less than my other subjects, only really referring to it when I feel my theory is very underdeveloped. Practicing past papers and writing essays ftw!

You can't write practice essays unless you can drill the theory + integrate statistics into it.

not really. You can write fucking genius essays with just knowledge of a few things (exchanges rates/broswers)

Each to their own. I find that for revising, writing essays is better than reading the textbook as it plays a much more active role, it also forces you to look up figures, many of which are out of date by the time you read them on your textbook. Reading more complex essays also allows you to gain an idea of where specific theories link with others, which is necessary in a cohesive understanding of the subject.
