Question

Shouldn't there be an investigation on how much college students are gouged for text books?

Answer 1

I agree!  Too many professors make students buy the books they wrote.  They are just making money.  The prices of these books are outrageous.

Answer 2

yes! not only that, but my daughter spend hundreds on them and was told they would buy them back etc, and two of her teachers decided they did not want to use them after all and when she went back to sell them back, unopened, mind you and still in the plastic wrap it had on, they would only give her half for one and the other one they would not buy back at all because it was not going to be used and had been replaced with another edition... total rip-off!
