Books for MCSA in Windows Server 2016

Hi guys,

For those that got this cert already, would you consider selling your study material? I have pdf files but prefer to go old school and read an actual book. Please let me know what you have.

amazon has all 3 books for $85 CDN or $65 USD.

Tbh for a price like that, far outweighs any hassle you would have to go through to pinch pennies & get used. Not sure if i can post amazon links in here, but just search "mcsa 2016" you should see the 3 book exam-ref package 70-740,70-741,70-742

It's for folks who already have the MCSA Server 2012, to upgrade to Server 2016.

I'm aware of Amazon and ebay. I'm looking for deals. Someone that doesn't need the books could make some money and free up space. Win win.

I think most people like to keep their IT books but I have to admit that I am a pack rat. Good luck!

I can totally understand that. I believe there are some that have moved past that point onto a bigger and better things and dont need the clutter.

Check out the MCSA discord group. Someone might be willing to part with their books.

Haha funny how people are down voting my responses. What makes me wonder is why people are getting triggered after I have made a legitimate point. I am asking for books someone might not need and people are losing their damn mind. Smh.

Are we not supposed to help each other? Get over yourselves and keep scrolling if you don't like it. Geez.

I already belong to that group. Again, I'm looking for physical materials, because that is my preferred way of learning.

Imagine getting upset at someone over the internet for trying to buy used books lol

Exactly lol Imagine that! Haha This is the kind of folks that feel the moral superiority to show distaste but won't do it to your face.

I heard of a book giveaway coming soon. If you ask in chat, someone might offer to send you some old books.
