Did the following: 1/cosx - sinx/cosx dx, giving me: ∫secx - tanx dx, is this the right procedure? The book has a different answer...

Yeah, that's the answer. However, I don't see how the devil they got ln(1-sinx) after ln |secx + tanx| - ln |secx| D:

Darn, is it because it's a rule of logarithms? For example log y - log x = log (y/x)?, Hence: ln |secx + tanx| - ln |secx| = ln (secx/secx + tanx/secx)??? Too sleepy and can't think straight... ._.;
