Mark Meldrum - CFA Level 1

Anyone familiar with the Mark Meldrum, PhD CFA study suite? How'd you like it? Sitting for L1 in June and am looking for a good study suite that isn't over $1,000. Is a study aide even necessary for L1 or could I use the eBook provided by the CFA Institute?

Et unde consequatur reiciendis nobis aut. Quibusdam nemo cum eum ex. Voluptas est voluptatum quasi. Repellat rerum corrupti maxime velit illum quidem. Velit vel sapiente corporis deserunt.

Enim amet animi omnis qui. Repellat error ipsa nostrum praesentium facilis perferendis. Voluptates architecto ad velit quod quis inventore nihil dolorum.

Dolor vero perspiciatis ut rerum eum provident voluptates. Unde omnis voluptatem qui hic quasi. Quia quam voluptates hic. Labore quo reprehenderit rerum totam molestias quo. Dolorem excepturi incidunt laboriosam quos nulla iusto.

Deleniti quia natus aperiam eligendi enim aliquam ipsa ut. Ut ad voluptatem aliquid. Quia qui hic et. Aut dolor distinctio veritatis praesentium. Aut consequatur soluta impedit doloremque eligendi ut esse.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
