I went for a roadtrip to ANU yesterday, and i checked out the co-op bookshop. I think by saying this i am stating the obvious, but text books arent cheap! I was actually almost shocked at how much they cost.
is the co-op bookshop the 2nd hand one?
coz i know my uni has United Campus Bookshop (UCB) which has all knew textbooks, virtually all like $100+
but then nextdoor to it is the 2nd hand bookshop (Books and Bytes) and it has some really cheap ones
thats why its probably cheaper to stay up to late hours photocopying books in the library... and reading really really really quickly so as not to incur a library fine.
