Oh yeah, same here since I was going to sell the book, but one thing that they change the policy, but it depend on what college you, for mine, they can't buy it from me or whatever it is and I was like why?.. But I just gave up then walk away.. Ugh, which that's why I never buy the book from the store again..

Geez. That's horrible.

**fly me to the moon** · 11-11-2014, 08:26 AM

Yeah and no wonder why college students complain that the textbooks getting more expensive..

Stay to the Lights · 11-12-2014, 08:03 PM

Yeah I know. I've noticed Law books are really expensive.

**fly me to the moon** · 11-13-2014, 09:43 AM

And Psychology books too.. Bec I remember that when I plan to buy it and I saw the price that cost over 100 and I was like

so I went to library to borrow it, so I can copy when we can discuss during the class or for homework than having it as own..

Stay to the Lights · 11-14-2014, 08:39 AM

Yeah. I guess a lot of courses like that would have expensive books, and probably medicine.

**fly me to the moon** · 11-14-2014, 10:46 AM

Yeah and that was so crazy to see the price for depend on major that you take..

Stay to the Lights · 11-15-2014, 09:33 PM

Yeah. Maybe it's because the text books tend to have a lot more information and pages, and I suppose since those courses tend to be more high profile than others.

**fly me to the moon** · 11-16-2014, 11:00 AM

Yeah, that's true..

For those who live in the Uk, check to see if you live near a healthy planet. If you donate your books away to them, they then give them away for three in their stores, where you can get three books free a day Healthy Planet
