This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.

That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.

This is why we download.

REBLOGGING because after a little digging, I found my $200 textbook for free in PDF form.

Also try your university/college library’s Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service! This is a great free way to support libraries while flipping off the textbook industry.

ILL may not be able to get everything, and I fully support downloading, but if you like a hard copy or just want a way to help support the libraries of the world, consider ILL.
