Are there any colours in particular that you're looking for?

BGS notes are pretty good in terms of presentation and content. Not seen Oxford's notes but can't imagine that they are significantly better. BGS' CD-ROM is, IMHO, excellent.

Whoa there, Cheshire Cat, perhaps you're being a bit unfair. PPSC notes were in black and white and some of the diagrams were a bluudy bogger to read. BGS have made fairly intelligent use of colour which makes learing and understanding that much easier. You're right, it's no kindergarten but then let's not make it harder than it has to be.

Cheshire...pilots are by nature thick ******s and like nice big coloured pictures....if they did ATPL books that you could colour in, I'd get em!

SuperTed....both the Bristol CD and the Oxford diagrams are good.
To be honest, if you're doing resident study then it won't matter cos you'll be getting all your info from the instructor AND drawing your own diagrams....wooohoo (:

If you're doing distance learning then there's not much in it....as long as they're sharp and clear.....Ham is quite right...some of the efforts that some of the schools used to shove your way were a joke...we've still got a long way to go before we get to the Jepp American standard of books
