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.

ReplyDeleteI 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.
