I’m just going to say it… Textbooks are a ripoff. You are required to have this book to take a class, and you have to have the new edition, and the price is through the roof. Look at the chart below…
That is according to 2013. Textbook inflation has far out passed every other expense out there. It has grown by 812%!!! Does this make sense? Students will easily spend $500 per semester in textbooks. In fact, CollegeBoard puts their estimate at $1,168 for an entire year. Just in textbooks!!!
