anndruyan: This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell. That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor. This is why we download. Alternatives to buying overpriced textbooks Textbooknova Reddit Bookboon Textbookrevolution GaTech Math Textbooks Ebookee Freebookspot Free-ebooks Getfreeebooks BookFinder Oerconsortium Project Gutenberg My wife ran into the ‘Professor wrote the textbook’ thing in engineering school. Textbooks are a big scam.
