    1. @traptin85 Hell yeah. Way overpriced. Beyond that, I rarely use a book and the professors almost never assign stuff from it.

        1. @traptin85 Yeahh.... That's where it hurts, make sure to sell back your books when you get the chance - recover at least a bit of that. q.q

          1. @haganbmj well one of them is a 'shrinkwrap' book. it's not bound, you just put the pages in a three-ring binder. and the registration information for the software needed for that math class makes up $100 of that one. fuc*ing bulldole.

            1. @traptin85 Yeah - charging that much for an unbound 'book' + some software is harsh

              1. @haganbmj of course, it's a community college, so they can't make the money they need on the tuition alone.

                1. @traptin85 (between you and me, I pay the same for books at a public school - more sometimes q.q)

            2. @traptin85 soo... if you would put an e-reader in a 3/4 ring binder... and get the digital ( perhaps illegal ) copy and put it on sad e-reader... noone would be the wizer eh ? :D
