Why is this book like €300 new, and €150 used? That's an insane amount of money, even for a textbook. How do people afford physical copies of their books?

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 8 17:00:48 2019 No.11042956 I bought several books that I barely opened. It's generally hard to estimate how much you will need a book until after you are done needing it.

If you're lucky you might be the only person in your course who remembers that despite looking like this university libraries carry books that you can borrow and there's probably a requirement that textbooks for courses are available.

I don't own a textbook that cost me more than £50, and I own a lot of textbooks. Maybe babby maths like Apostol can cost that much in the US, but in the UK more advanced textbooks are relatively cheap; probably a supply and demand thing. My most expensive is Becker Becker Schwarz

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 9 17:51:58 2019 No.11045656 >>11045648 Apostol costs that much in the UK too. Also, what made you think I was talking about US prices when I gave the price in Euro?
