I suppose the advantage of having textbooks is that I wouldn't be currently surrounded by pages and pages and pages of paper (admittedly not all readings, some of it is what I used the readings for... i.e. essays)... but have I not just spend the last twenty minutes organising my files (on the computer, duh) for one of my two (of five) courses with a textbook.*

During my Bachelor's there were plenty of textbooks.

I know textbooks are normal. They're just not particularly normal here... and readings are completely abnormal for most BSc subjects (including the ones which are in a BA) and, weirdly, history courses have no textbooks (but lots of readings, bad sentencing Forsher).

I have no idea if ACHOO has a "Das Nasti" branch, but I will look into it. Perhaps we could recruit you and have you found the team?
