The costs of books in college is crazy! have you checked online for used school books? you can get em for like less then half cost. We have one here next to EKU bargin books. but online is way cheaper so the kids told me at work.

I think I also heard recently about borrowing/renting books being a possibility now. Also something about downloading entire books for a price.

Sorry, I didn't pay more attention. No kids in college (yet)!
