Yeah, you guys haven't been capitalist long enough for the book industry to work its way into your universities. Here you're required often to buy ~$100 worth of books per class... and it's because the professors are the authors (not necessarily of your books, though often) that they help keep this system alive. They also 'revise' them (mostly by changing the examples around, or putting the after-chapter questions in a different order) every couple of years so used books are as limited in value as possible.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
