Some of my friends’ children are already in college and I always hear complains regarding the price of college textbooks and how expensive they can be. One even had a total amount of $2000! Did they know that with that kind of money, they can send two kids to school in a third world country? Nay, make that around 4 children. Should information be really that expensive? But I guess the funding goes to the scientists and they really do need the money but not all the authors are scientists. There should also be cheap used textbooks - $6 available for students. They are after all just students still and probably don't have income yet.
I guess one best way is to borrow textbooks from somebody else like what my friend is doing. Photocopying isn’t that good because there could be copyright laws that can ban it so borrowing is the best bet. Or save a lot of money. This is why I have savings for my kids already.
