yes, they have a funny thing they do... they make you buy a new $120 book, then they switch to the new addition the next year and you can't sell it back.

Yes.. I have all of them. I've been to lazy to go the bookstore and sell them back.. I imagine I'll do it eventually and spend the money on drugs

I kept a few long ago during undergrad years, and sometimes look at them but not much. Those days the books were much cheaper though. These days I just sell off all my books to get back as much as I can recover. If I really think the book is special, I'll just go to half.com and buy the same title five years later, at which point the $150 book will be worth like under $5 since it will be an outdated edition by then.
