If you are a student you can get Bryce 5 from JourneyEd.com at a real good price (under $100 maybe even under $50 not sure) thats how I got mine, but it doesn't come with a manual so you may want to invest in Susan Kitchens book also which can sometimes be found on Amazon's used books for under $20. HTH let me know if I need to clarify anything I've said.
