mine was 280....and the prof wrote the book. really thin book too, wtf lol. all my engineering courses hovered around 90-160/book

I guess professors need to make money however they can. ;) Yeah, the bulk of my Engineering texts were around that $100-$150 mark from what I recall.
 
I dont buy the books, unless it is absolutely necessary. I mean, I never read them if I am not forced to. If I need one just before a test, I go and buy one and return after I finish the test. Saves lots of money.
 
Yeah...my husband said he bought a book thinking he would need it, but the information was so well covered throughout the course that he never even took the plastic off of the cover. :rolleyes:

If only I too had a photographic memory. :D
