Every year I buy ACCA textbooks for new subjects and sell textbooks which were for the past paper.
Tomorrow I will sell Kaplan F9 textbook to someone and go to buy textbooks for auditing and taxation paper.
Anyone is interested in that F5 complete text? It’s under international various printed in 2007.I only sell it at half of original price.That’s a good recycling way,right?I like it. 
As I’m an ACCA student,at one time I bought textbooks for the same subjects from both BPP and FTC(Kaplan Financial) because I want to know about the real differences between those two.
V.S
Going through my experience of reading them,I find that BPP version textbook always presents contents under syllabus in detail and used to make things easily understand.Therefore this one is good for those self-study students.On the other hands,FTC version,the textbook shows a slim body.However the vocabulary there is quite abstruse,sometimes using one sentence to cover a key point.I think this one is suitable for people who are good at understanding and English.
Compared with prices,I think BPP is cheaper than FTC too.
Well,that’s why I always get BPP textbooks.Hopefully my 2 cents are helpful to newbie on ACCA who are still doubting on choosing textbooks.
