Is this in US dollars? My most expensive textbook (Bio 101) was half that. A little more if not-used. I'm not sure how much an average gouging comes to, but I thought I did "well" with "only" 500 USD. At least my biology text is good for two semesters...

I'll say this, though: my chemistry AP test more than paid for itself. The textbook I would have had to buy costs twice what the test did.
