Why are books so expensive?

[Larry Lobster]

Some of these books going for $40 on amazon.
Books shouldn't cost more than $20 tbh.

I don't like those e-reader devices. Actually i've never used one, i like having the physical version.

You should see the cost of my textbooks. Glad I have never purchased one. These cats out here running a racket.

PDFs or libraries/generous people if I feel like getting physical versions.

nikka you better not go buy a pair of fukkin Js either after talking about books are expensive. Books take mad time, thought, and effort to write so they deserve to be a lil pricey

Find a place that rents them.

I spent $250 on books for two classes this morning, and one's rented

excluding college textbooks which is a SCAM.

Books themselves are somehwat becoming collectors items for elitists. The younger the world gets the less they know about physical books(well physical anything actually) since everything is digital.

Having a bookshelf full of books will become super rare

Nah i can't, i have to buy them because i don't live in US. And the books i want i can only find in american stores.

Buy a used version a few issues back. All they do is rearranged the chapters in every 'new' addition.

Had a professor put me up on game, universities are REQUIRED to assign a book for every class due to their book store deals. That's why you always see a Barnes and Noble, not "Ohio State bookstore" or what-not

Buddy was a G for real, he would assign one of these books for like $4 online and then would teach from all online material
