I'm irked. When am I not? I need some cash, like right now. So I got a couple of textbooks and took them to the bookstore to sell back. They've got signs up that say, "Buy-back is year 'round, so why wait?" But they only give you a fraction of the worth right now; you get more back in finals week. Well, I had to sell anyway. I had no cash and was hungry. So there you go. College books are a fucking racket.

Another reason I majored in history.... all the books were cheap-ass paperbacks. And you are right about it being a racket. I think good professors realize that but unfortunately bad ones are usually the ones who help get the damn things published.

Or how about the ones who use their published books as the class textbooks? Can you say, "conflict of interest"?
