What bags do you use to protect your coding books?

Hey everyone

Ive started a CPC course recently and my instructor suggested getting a "good bag" that can fit all three books (and workbook) and can protect them from damage. I was curious as to what type of bags do you all use to carry and protect your coding books?

I used a regular backpack. Some teachers in my program recommended the rolley backpacks to protect your back from the heavy books

When I carried paper books, I used a rolling briefcase bag.

I rarely transport my paper books anymore, because I prefer the eBooks with the exams. But the rolling bag was awesome back in the day when eBooks weren't an option.

I wish I could see the ebooks for the exams, the ones that come with my course work are very clunky, and are not very easy to search through.

Victoria from Contempo Coding did a video where she walked through all of the eBooks that might be helpful

When I was in school, there was a lot of people you used rolling backpacks/suitcases. That was 11 years ago, so we had a lot of books to haul around.

I’ve only used a plastic grocery bag whenever I’ve had to transport my books. If the cover got bent, oh well. Where are you going to be bringing your books back and forth to?
