With 2,017 thin pages of small font, this Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) book is intended to be used as a reference. It's all free online, and you can view it in larger font on your screen. There are reasons to get this book for some people, but I think the vast majority of users will find the online FAR sufficient.You can get this book free in either HTML or PDF format. I prefer PDF. Also, you'll then be able to use search functions nicely. For this reason, even if you get the book, it's advisable to get the soft copy. Also, the FAR gets updated from time to time, which is why used book copies lose value quickly.To me the value in getting the book is first to more easily grasp the nature of this document in terms of organization. This is a "chapter and verse" book. It has Subchapters A through H (comparable to chapters in a textbook). The Subchapters are divided into Parts, but the Parts are sequential regardless of Subchapter. For example, if you cite Part 46, everybody can know that you're referring to Quality Assurance, because Part 46 can only occur once in the FAR. Subchapter G contains Part 42 through Part 51. Further, Parts are divided by 4-digit numbers. Each of those numbers can be broken down by lower case letters. Each of those lower case letters can be broken down by integer numbers.Another benefit in having a physical copy is you can mark it up and insert your own sticky notes. A lot of users tend to return to the same 6 or 7 issues, and never have an urgency requiring referral to most of the rest of the FAR.Whatever you think about the FAR, don't think it's the only word on federal government contracting. There are voluminous supplements to the FAR such as the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS).
