Pithypike & the Big Orange Book

Hey all - I've been working my way through a hybrid pithypike/lsatblog study plan, slightly favoring the latter because I couldn't find the Kaplan book mentioned by pithy. Anyone know a place it can be found? Or if it can be safely extracted from the study schedule?

I've always said that my weakness is being too impatient to achieve a desired outcome, and that I need to learn to try different approaches when something doesn't go the way I expected initially. This is not only true, but it also makes me look like a real go-getter who beats herself up when she makes mistakes (also true).

I've had some success with this one, but I haven't applied to a legal job yet, so do with it what you will.

WTF!!!??!?!!?!?!!?!?

Also, to OP. That book is available in its current form on amazon from like a million people.

You can also get the same thing (a breakdown of various LR sections, etc) from Cambridge LSAT. Google them.

I also bought mine from someone who had done the Kaplan class and didn't use theirs. I've just started reading it but I am impressed so far. If you can find/afford it, I would recommend it.

Yep, there it is. I guess when I did my initial ordering I ignored 'used' sellers...? Or maybe I'm just dense. Anyway, thanks.

And uh...thanks for the inspirational non-sequitor, kmap!

Update: it's available on amazon but not amazon.ca. Neither OB or mastery are anywhere on the Canadian site. Ridiculous.
Guess I'll investigate the Kaplan homepage...and craigslist..
