I know how you feel. I've spent way too much money on text books. I just wish I would have opened them more during my undergrad. I still have most of them on the shelf that's never been open.

I found it was so much easier to go on Amazon and enter the book ID and your done. Easier and cheaper.

Ya I looked on Amazon but I had to have them today to be able to do some tests, so I had to bite the bullet. I'm glad that it isn't just me that feel this way about the jackazz's in the world. I've still got 4-5 books that are still in the wrapping, only reason I bought them is for the code inside that allows you to use the online material to be able to do the class. Other than that I very rarely have to use the books, Which is a completely other story for another day about how much of a scam that is...

No its a story for now! i hate that you have buy the book for the code and its way too expensive and then its worthless because the codes are only usable one time which means you cant sell the book back for more than a few bucks. UGH!!

Ya it is a complete waste of money. I was going to return my books but they only want to give you back pennys on the dollar, so I told them where they can put those pennys haha. Eventually I'll sell them online.
