Curriculum on curriculum. Sounds like a way to squeeze the student for some more money.

I disliked buying book even when I got them used they were way to expensive. There was a smart fellow who had an off campus books store where I used to save money and they were so evil they tried to shut him down.

College text book sales and publishing is such a scam.

Whew, girl. Definately - GOOD LUCK.

I hated buying college books - it always depressed me. They are so stinking expensive.

I just visited my sister on campus this weekend and helped her buy some books. She bought 5 paperback books and spent about $350!!! She was on the verge of tears and I was just in shock. I can't wait to see how much they try to give her when she sells them back.

You're taking an ESL class? What's your native language?

What a swindle.

I was in Ocean City NJ over the weekend (day trip with friends); got two abridged volumes of poetry for $3.01. I daresay I'll learn more from them than I did from any of my $45 textbooks in college. (I think they must have been sold by the pound.)

BTW - the word verification thing goes perfectly with that mixed-up-word post you had.
