I am in the process of getting DD's books for this semester. She is taking 4 classes and has 5 required books. If we bought them from the bookstore the cost comes to a whopping $855.
Thank goodness for the used book sites and even craigslist. It is nice when the professors say earlier editions are fine - that saves alot. I may come in at $400 but even that is alot.
Thank goodness I have one(DS) working co-op this semester.
Any one have perspective on why they are soooo pricey and what is up with the international editions - they are often 1/3 the cost of the US edition - are we subsudizing the international editions????
