Excuse me, but why are math textbooks so expensive!?!? It's like 50$ a piece for these things. Jfc bros. And before you say "pirate them online", what if I want a hard copy to read? It's so much money.
$50 is literally nothing.
>>16166677But then there are taxes, and the fact that I'm going to have to buy several math textbooks over the course of my learning. This is robber, anon.
>>16166678Just use libgen, dummy.
>>16166679I already said I want a physical book to hold. But yes, I will probably just use libgen unfortuntaely. I may also go to a public library, but the books in there are gross and there's tons of homeless people and poc in there ...
>>16166675buy used, less expensive books. no ones forcing you to pay $100 for baby rudin. the best math textbook ive ever read was like $8 at a half price books. i think i bought stewart calculus for like $12 shipped from thrift books.
>>16166683in my experience, half priced books sells books for way more than "half price" but I'll have to check out thrift books, thanks anon
>>16166675Why even try? Some third worlder who never had to pay for books, and got a college degree for free, will take your job. Simple as.
>>16166690thats not the reason im studying math, so its irrelevant to me
>>16166689>half priced books sells books for way more than "half price"you wouldve have heard me complaining when i found my griffiths electrodynamics for $16.
>>16166695>wouldvewouldnt*btw that pic is the thriftbooks order i was referring to, looks like it was actually $10, free shipping.
>>16166695my bad, it was $15
>>16166683Those are all out of date though
>>16166737very funny, retard
>>16166737Out of date? What kind of math are you trying to learn that's new enough that you're worried about it being out of date?
>>16166695Do you have to order from a local store?
>>16166747thats a thriftbooks order, not half price books. im not sure thriftbooks has any physical locations. although i know for a fact you can walk into a half price and ask them to ship books from another store to there. i should remember that next time im on the hunt for griffiths quantum.
>>16166675because the publishers are all jewish
>$50>$100That’s literally nothing. Some of my law school textbooks would regularly run $500 each and I’d usually need 4 or 5 per semester. You could get used, and I often would, but they’re still expensive.
>>16166675Annas archive, thank me later
>>16168042This, college children are a captive market and they all have daddy to pay all their bills for them so the publishers know then can charge exorbitant prices for textbooks and without negatively impacting their sales.
>>16168059Good think your dad had enough money to pay for all that, don't forget to thank him
>>16168062Excellent, do you have the lossless version?
>>16168073I actually don’t have a dad, but thanks bro
>>16168075No I got it from here sadly
>>1616805950$ adds up, just because you got ripped off at law school doesn't mean 50$ is nothing
If you're female just ask your simps on onlyfans to buy the books for you.
bam, back from the brink baby
>>16166683I got baby rudin paperback, literally printed in india by 15€
>>16169333damn, I'm admiring your post hard rn
>>16166675printing stuff is expensive
>>16166675>50$ a pieceAre you attending college in a third world country? American textbooks are hundreds of dollars each. $50 for a textbook is entirely reasonable.
>>16166675>what if I want a hard copy to read?If only science was advanced enough
>>16170322printing things also costs a lot of money anon
Get an ereader
>>16166675>what if I want a hard copy to read? It's so much money.Print it out at the library. You want it in hardcover? Buy a couple pieces of wood and learn how to bind books.
>>16166772found it but damn $38 for a used book, theyre doing me dirty here.
>>1616667550 isn't a lot for a whole textbook anon. Usually they're around 80-120.
>>16166677I'm BLACK u privileged ass, if it's nothing why don't you buy it for me
