    Samantha:

    yes, Amazon in particular has a zillion used books for very low cost

    I usually look for the prior edition and with cost + shipping can usually get them for under $10

    if I really like the book I will then consider getting the latest edition

    I have a massive construction/architecture library based on these cheap books

    I also bought the entire collection of Fine Home Building in paper back to 1981
    then about a year later the whole collection was offered on DVD
    so I have that and someday will try to sell or donate the paper copies

    I also have the JLC collection on DVD

    both magazines are incredibly informative, especially for someone who has zero
    background in construction and architecture

    there are also a zillion informative websites

    it is imperative to read and learn every day - every single day
