Books should be cheaper

March 23rd, 2007

I just finished hunting for the best price options for my textbooks for next term and I still spent way too much money! Books for education should be cheaper – it just doesn’t seem fair that they make the poor students pay the most for books.

Anyway, I’m all set for next term which starts on April 2nd – so I have a bit of free time now to read a book I’m reviewing for The Journal of Web Librarianship and maybe re-read some Harry Potter in anticipation for July :)

    Hi Nicole,

    I have to agree with you about the books, what really irked me was that the publisher would add new information in a chapter or two. The result being your prof would require you to buy the newest version. I would buy used ones anyway and just “borrow” from my classmates for the info that I was missing. Good luck this term.
