amazing, so there are 35 people that are actually that stupid
Digital singularity approaches for them, too. No way in hell textbooks are going to stay $150 a copy. (I know for sure that some private schools are balking at the prices, particularly for high school math books and such which really do not need a new edition every couple of years.)
People actually pay for textbooks ? How silly.
In PH if you take a university course you go down to one of the photocopy centers next to the campus.
To make matters simpler the center has a copy of all the textbooks you need for the course.
You just tell the photocopy guy which book you want copied and for 50 centavos (~$0.02) per double sided page he will duplicate the entire book.
If you pay an extra 50-100 peso (~$1-2) he will nicely bind your photocopied book.
If you are exceptionally lazy, you can just give the photocopy dude a list of all the courses you are in. He will then tell you to come back in 2-3 hours. When you return you will have a whole set of photocopied books. If you use this approach, generally speaking you get a 10-15% discount.
