Textbook Blues


I just spent over $500.00 on textbooks. Ouch!
This is only for three classes!
The huge price tag is partly my fault, my own poor planning. I knew I would need books, I knew I would have the book voucher at the college bookstore, where the prices are highest. If I don’t spend that money on books, I get it in my pocket, it’s part of my grant, so … Ouch!
If I had shopped around a bit I could’ve probably saved a hundred, maybe more if my paperbackswap.com had one of them. I got a Spanish text that way, and it only cost me postage “paid forward” on the next book of mine I shipped out.
Algebra is the most painful and the most costly, with a $246.00 text price tag.
