When we handed out the three-days take-home exam, several students came to me and complained that they hadn't been able to get hold of the book required to answer the exam.
That's way too late! (How dare they? If you want to gamble, you must know when to fold.)
Buy, or borrow, or steal the books early in the semester. If you come to me in mid-term and explain that it has been impossible despite all your efforts, I'll try to help you.
Don't start looking for the book when the exam starts.
