Quote:

One of the textbook is a special college edition that costs $180.00 in the college bookstore, but by buying a used standard edition online, I only paid $42.00 for it and it comes with more pages. Thus, by paying less I get more.



This strategy goes off the rails if there is material in the special college edition that gets assigned that isn't in your cheaper standard version.
