A textbook rental system is a genius way of handling the ludicrous prices of textbooks nowadays. Now that I'm out of the way of my pre-req classes, which had a number of big, expensive books, and into my History major, where the majority of the books are smaller and less expensive, my quarter costs for books have somewhat declined, but I'm still looking at 200-250 bucks a quarter. Using the return system at my University Bookstore I could have gotten 40 dollars for all my books last quarter, which were mostly used, and they cost me 200 dollars. Now if only they'd figure out a way to change this system into a textbook rental one, I'd be a happy camper
