The <strike>Highway Robbery Central</strike> ASUN Bookstore charges as much as they can get away with - and they get away with quite a bit, seeing how nobody ever stood up to them. go on Half.com, Amazon, Alibris - any one of those sites - and find your books for fraction of the price the ASUN demands. If you need your book ASAP, pay for the priority shipping, or go on Reno's craigslist page. And then, of course, there's always the library. Yes, this may sound too damn obvious, but evidently, herds of <strike>sheeple</strike> sophomores never heard about that concept. Instead of checking out centuries-old Core Humanities texts from the Knowledge Center (or downloading them), they pay the top buck.
