Education is expensive


A used textbook should not cost nearly $200!

The most expensive textbook in the college bookstore my freshman year of college was the Calculus textbook. The brand new, thick tome cost a shocking $118! I used it for two semesters, and then I lent it to a roommate for a semester. So the distributed cost was not so terrible.

But I just cannot get over the sticker shock for this relatively petite stats textbook.

Oy vey! I just found Huffington Post this article on the rate of increasing textbook prices.
