Oy Vey
I'm really going to have to take a bath this semester buying my books. They're all dumb expensive, and I can't find any reasonably priced used copies.
Or rather, I can find used copies, but they're not the current edition -- that's how they get you. All these 2005 editions are killing me. How much has trusts and estates really changed?
And then there's the kicker -- I can find the Fifth Edition of one book for cheap, but the professor wants the Revised Fifth Edition. Truly this author has taken the pyramid scheme that is the edition process to a new level of sophistication and refinement.
