i don't get why text books are so expensive. i just bought this art history book that is 116 dollars, but i don't understand WHY it costs so much. it's a decent sized book, but it's not huge. what i don't get is...say you go into a regular book store like barnes and noble and you buy a book with art history in it, why isn't it as expensive?
when you go into a book store, rarely do i see any books costing 116 dollars. so what makes text books of equal size cost more? don't tell me how i can go buy them cheaper balbalbaabl, i'm not asking about buying them cheaper. i'm asking what makes text books like this cost so much more than just a regular book that's similar in size and stuff? |
