This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.

That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.

This is why we download.

Fellow students, grab some textbooks/ebooks from here, here, here, and here.

We’re trying to get an education. Not go for broke. Hope this helps everyone out a little. I have so many issues with publishers and the daylight robbery that is textbooks. 

Because I remember how shitty textbook prices were in college, here are some other options for my followers.
