I was just looking at my last post and realizing that I'm balancing my sanity against the cost of a book. Pitiful. I may just call my advisor and see if there is a "fluffier" class I can take next.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Hee! Might not be a bad plan. And, if nothing else, you can sell the book on half.com or ebay.

All is well that ends in pizza.
why are school books so darned expensive?!?!?
Because of limited market forces. They can claim supply and demand and jack up the prices.

Selling hte book is not an issue because I will have to take that Critical Thinking class at some point, I just might be able to shuffle things around and take it later.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
A few of my students bought grey-market calculus books from India to save money. I'm not sure exactly how they bought them, though.

What is even happening?
vw recently bought a text book on e-Bay, Hil. It was a little bait-and-switchy, though. The cover pictured on e-Bay was the same as the edition the class was supposed to buy. When the book arrived, it was a foreign (UK, maybe?) edition, I think--at any rate, it was somewhat different.
vw, what happened with that, anyhow? Was the substance of the text the same? Also and completely unrelated, did Emily get a pillow?

Probably through half.com. I know Emily got one this way.
I got my Biology textbook on ebay for $74, as opposed to the $130 it was in the bookstore. You can get a lot of textbooks on Amazon as well, which helps.
Thanks, Raq!

Turned out I did get the US edition, so it was all okey dokey.
Emily did not get a pillow. I may run to LnT today and try there. We weren't thrilled with the selection and BB&B.
