What a Scam


Last time I bought 200 bucks worth of paperbacks, I needed more than one hand to carry them.

I must be getting stronger.

If nothing else, this sh*t ought to improve teh blog. No promises, though.

    College textbooks are a titanic ripoff.

    The good news is a lot of college bookstores will buy them back for some fraction of the original price at the end of the semester.

    Then, the instructor(s) will find those 'old-school' textbooks inadequate, and the next class will have to buy the new, 'improved' editions.

    For PC-related stuff, that's probably truth. Most other disciplines?

    Not for any new, exciting discoveries. For to feed the textbook writers (alumni, instructor's brother, etc.)
