they are a good starting place, but they don't go far enough in depth, i prefer college textbooks, or the textbook i get from school, they usually cover the basics and go a little more in depth

You use college textbooks? I don't think my team could afford that. I use my school textbooks and they always seem to work pretty well.

High school textbooks probably go into enough depth for most events in division B, but I'd recommend college textbooks for division C. You can usually find a couple good used textbooks for under $30 to buy online.

usually the library will have a college textbook, and check half-priced books, they usually have them relatively cheap, and most science teachers have some of their own

Can someone clarify with me exactly what kind resource we are allowed to bring? The rules say one piece of paper, but the wiki says this was changed.

The rules take precedence over everything else. You are only allowed 1 sheet of paper [double sided i believe]
