Definitely makes me thankful I don't have to buy a $140 physics book yet.... All in good time I suppose. Still, I think I'd rather pay the extra $10 and avoid the awkwardness of meeting someone you've never met face to face to exchange books... The prices on the website are enough to defer me to amazon.com, anyway.

I found that it is so much simpler to find and purchase the books I need on amazon.com. Not to mention, my wallet is thicker now because of it.
