Textbook Prices - A Personal Account

There have been a number of insightful commentaries appearing in Ka Leo recently regarding the phenomenon of vastly overpriced, gouge-level textbook pricing. After spending hundreds on textbooks this semester, I took up the advice given by Kris DeRego and located all the same books on amazon.com, for….much less. I was able to save almost $20 on one book alone, it was sold to me for $20 at the bookstore, and available (used but in great almost new condition) for 30 cents on amazon. A truly unacceptable differential.

I encourage all fellow students to take advantage of this opportunity to save money, and by doing so, perhaps we can encourage the erstwhile gougers to perhaps consider the impoverished and nay, indebted plight, of us, the toiling students.

Stay tuned for more commentary as The Bali Lama continues his crusade against injustice by analyzing and dissecting falsity and propaganda and counter-asserting a revolutionary narrative of truth.
