Arts & Humanities > Business of Writing (Other) Are used textbooks the solution to the high cost of textbooks?

5 of 8

The solution is lowering the cost of textbooks. Used textbooks aren't that much cheaper. I took an Anatomy class where I bought a used text book for $150. The new one was $200.

The cycle begins every new year. A resolution is made to make this year "The Year". The year of the new you, the thinner you, the happier you.

Should a woman out of respect for her spouse le... More..
