Cheap textbooks..
they don't exist. Priding myself on cheap finds at half.com and other used book retailers, this semester I broke down and purchased a new book, very last minute, at UTC for a whopping $160. I have heard on Engineering students paying over $200 for books.
Can't help but wonder why? Do these books costs more to print? To write? To research? To some extent I can see higher costs for textbooks than say copies of the latest Danielle Steele at Wal-Mart, but c'mon..
Can't help but wonder if there is a conspiracy at foot? At least I'm not alone.
