Yeah, it is a crime how expensive they are. The sad part is, there are some teachers who don't even need textbooks. They mostly just use the supplements that they've written themselves for the class. But colleges make them have a required textbook anyway. WTF? If I don't need the book, why am I buying it? It's highway robbery if you ask me. I've bought so many textbooks that the teacher never even referred to. That said, though, there are some textbook that I definitely think i'm going to hold on to. Especially my Algorithms book.
