    Obviously none of you have been in college recently. The textbook companies of America are raping the students! And they have a monopoly! Assanine I agree, but it is what it is.

    Figured as much. Like I said though, overall it was pretty good. I'll try my best not to spill anything on it.

    I agree with all said. The paper is super thin, I prefer a heavier stock. The state of publishing is in a dismal place! Much of it is to blame on themselves, but in certain cases it looks bad for all involved unfortunately.

    Oh, and I did not feel any "blame" was happening, I just wanted to make clear that many of the negative factors were out of the authors control.

    Cheers
