- When I was studying at my polytechnic I had to spend about $700 a year on
- textbooks, when I was studying at my university this was less than $200 (there
- are many *cheap* readers). I found it strange that other students complaint
- about the high prices for text books at the university: being used to the
- higher prices, I found it a bargain.
