Hey /sci/

Let me be frank- College Textbooks are way too fucking expensive for what they are. I could find 90 similarly good textbooks on the same exact subject online for free, or for like 10-20 bucks.

But the reason you have to buy College Textbooks is not because you need to learn about the subject or because you've done research and decided this was the best book to teach you what you wanted to know in that area. The reason you need college textbooks is because your teacher will assign problem sets from that textbook or use artifacts of the textbook's style in class that you will not understand unless you are reading that particular textbook.

It's completely fucked up, and I'm sure you're all smart enough to realize this. The bad part is- textbooks are next to impossible to find through google and info on how to find them is even more so. So I come to you, 4chan. Teach me how to find the pdf/ebook versions of my textbooks online so I don't have to shell out hundreds of dollars for information that SHOULD be/is free.

In return, this CP I found the other day.
