This Racket is Ridiculous!


The Girl is taking some more concurrent and distance-ed courses this semester to finish her Associates Degree along with her high school diploma.  One of her classes is a psychology course.  The course description sounds very fascinating.  But she has had a hard timing tracking down the book.  so I told her I'd do some hunting while she was in school yesterday.  I found it.  This is what it looks like:



It isn't the greatest shot, but  I think you can tell this is essentially a glorified magazine.  And it  cost *cough* *choke* $88.  Yes. That is right.  $88.  This is a 2nd edition, so the 1st edition, which The Girl found online for about $7 wasn't the "right" book.  Yikes.

The only upside that I can find here--about the book situation, at least--is that the used book sellers were very insistent that she sell it back to them when she's done with it.  Let's just hope there isn't a 3rd edition out by then.

OH no!! I hate school books, but am determined to get into the text books writing business one day! They have to make bank! Tony's cheapest book was over $100. It's ridiculous! And $80 for a "text book" magazine thats crazy! Hopefully it'll all be worth it!
