I would say I have averaged about $250-$300 per semester on textbooks and that could be overstating it.<br /><br />I do recall one of President Obama's platforms was to limit the increase in textbook prices. Know he has a lot more to be worried about, but it would be nice to take care of.<br /><br />Also, the buyback process is horrible. Eachtime you take it back, they won't give you money because of a torn page or a new edition will be releasedAndy Ourielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11219111742506665801noreply@blogger.com
