Once you know what youre looking for I would have a look on ebay at second hand books, I just managed to get the BSAVA lane & cooper textbook for £11 brand new, I've picked up quite a few bargain buys.

I'm currently studying a VN degree and the books I have on my shelf are BSAVA textbook of veterinary nursing 4th edition (gives basic coverage of just about everything, it is riddled with typos though I will warn you!), Introduction to veterinary anatomy and physiology textbook, (invaluable for the anatomy and physiology modules, I think just about everyone in my year ended up with one!), Clinical procedures in veterinary nursing (very good for a lot of the practical tasks and gives explanation of WHY you do things which is helpful, lots of diagrams too!), Handbook of veterinary nursing 2nd edition (only published earlier this year so quite up to date and does cover most things) and Student veterinary dictionary (does what it says on the tin!).

I'd say initially get either the BSAVA book or The complete textbook of veterinary nursing and some form of veterinary dictionary (there are specific vet nursing ones available) to start with and maybe see how you go from there so you're not spending too much at once! Other books you may find useful are ones with dog & cat breeds in and general advice books about rabbits, hamsters etc.
