Sissy's books this semester came in at around $700 through the bookstore, a little over $400 at the off-campus used textbook store.

The textbook for my children's lit class is $110 through the campus bookstore, but can be found in a used edition for $3-$20 on Amazon marketplace.

My adolescent lit book is $90 new, or about $50 at the used bookstore.

There are usually about another $50 in paperbacks if you buy them new, and those change with each course depending upon how I've revised my curriculum.

I couldn't care less what edition the students get most of the time, or whether they get it from the campus bookstore.
